Fundraising

Sign Up Parties are live and selling fast! They will close on Sunday, September 21st at 8pm so don't delay on making your purchase today! Click here to join in the fun!

Sign Up Parties are Griffin's newest fundraising initiative. They are lively, themed gatherings hosted by families in the school community and then spots are purchases by others in the school community. Each event is open to all, featuring creative themes and activities designed for every age group. Every dollar raised helps fund Griffin Elementary PTA initiatives in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Spirit Wear

If you placed a spirit wear order in August and have not received your items, this means that your size was out of stock and has been ordered on our second and final order. That order was placed early September and should arrive by the end of the month and will be delivered to classrooms once they are here and sorted!

We have a very limited number of remaining sizes in inventory in our spirit wear closet. As a reminder, there will be no more orders placed for these designs – when they’re gone, they’re gone! The limited quantity inventory has been added to the school store for your shopping at www.mgepta.org/store. Online orders will be delivered to your child’s classroom within one week of placing the order.

Thank you for your support!
