🎄💙 The Grinch came to Griffin… and our students were ready! 💙🎄
During our second Grinch event, exemplar K–2 students were nominated by their teachers and officially deputized by our new SRO, Officer Harris 👮♂️✨
Their mission: protect Christmas 🎁
Their task: catch the Grinch and hug him until his heart grew ❤️
After completing their duty, they even invited the Grinch to their class Christmas party tomorrow… and rumor has it he might bring something sweet 🍬😉
So proud of our students for showing leadership, kindness, and courage — Griffin style.
