Griffin Nation!! What a great week last week was, so many activities occurring inside with effective instruction, outside with amazing extra curriculars and the community with parades and all sorts of functions. We truly have an amazing community. Let's keep this momentum going this week as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week. This week we will pause and pay closer attention to all social and emotional needs that our students are going through and how we can be more proactive in ensuring the best care for our students. Of course there are dress up weeks, please make sure we follow the dress codes and let's not make the week about dress ups but understanding the true meeting of Red Ribbon Week.
