Innovation Learning After School Program
The results from January’s Empathy in Engineering Challenge are in and we are proud to announce that Medford had one of the two winning projects from over 200 entries across the country. Lilliauna Bozeman and Reece Anderson from Abraham Lincoln Elementary designed a lap console by which the user will be able explore a small town. This was a lovely thought when designing for children who may not be able to leave a hospital bed. Lily and Reece will now be included in the design process as engineering students at U.C. Boulder, CO. develop a working prototype which will be donated to Children’s Hospital Colorado. Thank you to all the Innovation Learning students and staff at Hoover, Griffin Creek, Lone Pine, Jacksonville, and Abraham Lincoln who worked so hard on your projects!

Box Tops for Education
Don't stop now! We are looking forward to seeing how the new box top collection method can make it easier for families. No more clipping, no more sending box tops to school. All you have to do is download the ALL-NEW Box Tops app (in the apps store or google play) , shop as you normally would, and scan your receipt. If you bought any eligible products, the app will automatically credit Griffin Creeks Box Tops earning on-line. So much easier! In addition, there are a lot box cut out box tops that have not expired, so keep sending those in.This money goes a long way to support our school. We so appreciate all of the support.
