A Weekly Look at Grant Elementary School & the Grant PTA
Week of February 11, 2019
A Message from the Principal:
At Grant, we work with our students on media literacy to help support their critical thinking about the content they take in through books, film, television, and games. Common Sense Media has been a fantastic resource in supporting this vision and I hope it is helpful for you and your family as well!
With Love & Grant Pride,
