Counselor Corner
Our Character Strong Trait is Gratitude for the month of November. Gratitude is choosing to notice and appreciate things in our life, in our world, and things in others. Our Grizzly Goal Challenge this month is to share with a Griffin staff member or members why you are grateful for him/her. You can use the Gobble Gram below, write your own letter or even fill out this form: https://forms.gle/Q484Sa2joC37eHrr7 and we will send the message to the staff member! Studies show that people who write gratitude letters improve their mental health over time. It makes sense...the more we find people and things in our life that we are thankful for, the more positive we become. In turn, we have a more hopeful outlook on life which improves our mental health. At Griffin, we have so many things to be thankful for….our students/children, a school culture of kindness and caring, a staff who is dedicated in helping students learn and grow, and our parents/volunteers who pour hours of service into our school and students. Our gratitude list could go on and on! What would your family’s gratitude list look like? Maybe make a new Thanksgiving tradition this year!
Progress Reports visible in Home Access Center (HAC) by 10:00am on Tuesday, Nov. 16th.

December Lunch Visitor Sign-Up
To keep our students and staff safe, Griffin is limiting the number of visitors to the lunchroom. There will be 3 slots per grade level available daily and only one visit per MONTH will be permitted. Limiting visitation to once a month will allow more parents a chance to have lunch with their child(ren). Thank you for your support.
Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!
