FROM THE DESK OF PRINCIPAL SOILEAU

Dear Griffin Community,

As we continue to build a community of excellence, I’m excited to recognize the incredible dedication our teachers show each day in helping our students thrive. Their hard work, passion, and commitment create an environment where learning and growth are always at the forefront, inspiring students to reach their fullest potential.

Looking ahead, the 6th grade field trip is scheduled for April. More details will be shared through School Messenger in March.

Thank you for being part of our amazing middle school community. Together, with the dedication of our teachers and the support of our families, we are making excellence a daily reality for our students!

Warm regards,

Principal Soileau
