🎄💙 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.

We kicked off the 12 Days of Christmas fun today with an unexpected (and uninvited) visitor... the Grinch! He got away before we could capture him but reminded us that we are much better off being kind and avoiding chaos. Keep an eye out and let us know if you see him. In the meantime... be kind to each other! 🎄 ❄️ ⛄️

Today we’re celebrating Fabian, recognized by Ms. Isabell for quietly stepping up to clean part of the playground—without being asked and without expecting recognition. That’s the heart of Habit 1: Be Proactive.
Fabian saw a need, took initiative, and made our campus a tidier, better place for everyone. We’re so proud of his leadership!
