FROM THE DESK OF PRINCIPAL SOILEAU
Happy New Year, Griffin Community!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season filled with joy and relaxation. We were thrilled to welcome students and staff back this past week, even if the weather decided to give us an extended break with two snow days! It’s safe to say the new year started with a mix of energy, excitement, and a little winter magic.
As we settle into the second half of the school year, our focus remains on fostering a positive, supportive environment where our students can thrive. Despite the short week, it’s clear everyone is ready to jump back into learning and growing together.
Thank you for your continued partnership, and let’s make 2025 a year to remember!
Warm regards,
Principal Soileau
