President's Message

🎉 Classroom Party Fund – Thank you to everyone who has already contributed! Each student (excluding 5th graders) is asked to give $10 toward classroom parties for the year. This helps cover supplies, snacks, and activities that make our celebrations special. If you haven’t submitted it yet, there’s still time. Thank you for helping make each event fun for our students!

🎨 Reflections Art Program – Creativity is still going strong! Students are encouraged to participate in the National PTA Reflections program with this year’s theme, “I Belong.” Entries are due October 24th. Learn more at txpta.org/reflections-participation.

🩸 Blood Drive at Griffin Elementary – Join us on Tuesday, October 21st, from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM to help save lives. Sign up today.

📅 No School Friday & Monday – Enjoy the long weekend! There will be no school on Friday or the following Monday, so take some extra time to rest, recharge, and spend time with family.

🙏 Thank You, MGE Community! – Together, we’re making Griffin an amazing place to learn and grow. Your time, energy, and support truly make the difference.
