🎄💙 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.

Our Griffin Garden Club wrapped up for the fall semester today! Bulldogs learned about photosynthesis and the water cycle, and they got to design their individualized terrariums with mosses and succulents! Thank you SCGA for your dedication to our Bulldogs!










Reindeer here, reindeer there... REINDEER EVERYWHERE! 🦌 🎄









There's nothing like the crisp feel of paper as you turn the page to see what's next in your favorite book! Ms. Zavala's 2nd graders enjoy reading without a screen during their day. 📖 🐾




A special guest stopped by to spread joy and cheer to our Bulldogs! 🎅 📸 🎄

Griffin Fifth Grade Grinch Patrol posted Grinch Wanted signs around the campus reminding Bulldogs to practice kindness over the next few weeks... maybe... just maybe... his heart will soften and grow! 🐾 👮♂️ 🎄




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! 🎄 ❄️ ⛄️
