SAVE THE DATE, Middle Griffins: ➡️Thursday, May 7⬅️, is a PTO fundraiser. Middle Griffins paying $5 are allowed to wear school approved joggers (SOLID COLORS, NO WORDS or SYMBOLS) with a spirit shirt. Cash will be collected in the gym, and you will receive a wristband.

Middle Griffins, remember to bring your charged Chromebooks to school each and every day! Tomorrow we wrap up LEAP testing with sessions 2 and 3 of social studies. Get a good night's rest, a hearty breakfast, and arrive to school on time.
