FROM THE DESK OF PRINCIPAL SOILEAU

Dear Griffin Community/Parents and Guardians,

As we dive into another exciting week at Griffin MS, I want to take a moment to reflect on the amazing spirit of our community. Our students continue to shine in both academics and extracurricular activities, showcasing their hard work and dedication.

This week, we celebrated Constitution week and National Hispanic Heritage Month. Be sure to check out the schedule of events for October with Red Ribbon Week and Fall Festival coming up!

Thank you for your ongoing involvement and support. Together, we are making a positive impact on our school community.

Thank you,

Principal Soileau
