President's Message

Happy Fall Break!

I hope you and your family are enjoying your fall break, don't forget there is no school Monday or Tuesday this week!

MGE needs our help volunteering in the lunchroom. Please see the sign up below or click HERE to volunteer to help in the lunchroom. Volunteers can sign up in one, two or three hour shifts to help assist kids during lunch time.

We are gearing up for an incredible Grizzfest on November 6th! Don't forget to order your t-shirt today! Also, this year we are going to have even more fabulous raffle baskets at Grizzfest. Please see the flyer below and click HERE to help us fill the raffle baskets!

We have a special Griffin Greeters meeting on October 16th for any families that are new to Griffin, Katy, or the US- we'd love to share coffee and refreshments with you and help you clearly understand all that goes on at Griffin!

Thanks, as always, for making Griffin such a fun and special place for our kids!

Red Ribbon Week is NEXT WEEK! October 19–22

MGE PTA invites all students to participate in Red Ribbon Week as we celebrate healthy choices with the theme “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free!” Students can earn points for their house by joining each day’s dress-up theme: wear red on Monday, a favorite hat on Tuesday, pajamas or comfy clothes on Wednesday, and a favorite sports or football shirt on Thursday. Please see the attached flyer for full details.

Families are also invited to complete the “Our Dreams Are Worth Protecting” activity at home. Have your child write or draw a dream they have for their future inside the star, add their name and teacher, and return the completed page to school by October 14th. The pages will become part of a special school display celebrating our students’ hopes, goals, and bright futures.

PTA Membership is for Everyone!
