Principal Advisory Committee at Grizzell
Today is the last day to submit interest in being a part of my Principal Advisory Committee for the 2021/2022 school year. If your son or daughter may be interested in serving on this committee, please have them complete the survey that was sent to their school email. I will be limiting the number of students at each grade level, so everyone who has interest may not be part of this committee. This group will provide me with valuable feedback and ideas that will make Grizzell a better place for students. We will meet monthly during the lunch periods.
