The NEW Grewenow Family & Teacher Community (GFTC)
Grewenow Elementary School is excited to introduce the Grewenow Family & Teacher Community or GFTC (pronounced "Giftsy") This organization (similar to a PTA/PTO) is for any family member looking to be involved in their child's education and give back to the Grewenow School Community. The group has adopted by-laws, elected officers, and will become a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization to not only serve the school, but also raise monies to enhance programming for all Grewenow children.
The GFTC Leadership team is comprised of:
- C.J. Mora - President
- Michelle Ruggles - Vice President
- Ben Borter - Secretary
- Diannah Davis - Treasurer
Meetings will be held the first Wednesday of each month at 6:00PM in the Grewenow School library. All are welcome, membership is open, and if you are interested in learning more or, better yet, getting involved please contact GiFTC.info@gmail.com

Keep the flow of traffic free
As you drop your student off in the morning, please be sure to use the correct lane to allow traffic to continue to move.
Thank you, again families for your help with keeping students safe in our parking lot and on the road. We appreciate your help!
Looking to Volunteer
Recess is held Monday-Thursdays from 10:30AM - 12:15PM. Commitment to all 4 days is not necessary - even availability 1 day a week can make a difference. Training on how to communicate and reinforce our school's playground expectations will be provided.
If you are interested in serving our school, ensuring students have safe place to play, and getting some fresh air, please contact Mr. Sellenheim at 262-359-6362.
