Weekly Update 9/25/20
Principal's Message
Good afternoon Grizzell Families.
I wanted to thank your students for all of their hard work and concentration during MAP testing this week. We know that these make for long days, but the kids did great! Our staff and students continue to adjust to the different schedules and expectations that each week seems to bring.
I hope that everyone has been enjoying this amazing weather that we have had this week. This is my favorite time of year with cool, crisp mornings/evenings and sunny afternoons. In addition to the weather, I also get to partake in caramel apple suckers and pumpkin spice anything while my wife enjoys backyard fires.
Thank you for another great week at Grizzell and enjoy the weekend.
