Students of the Month
Congratulations to our Grizzlies who have demonstrated our core values this week! Way to goooo! #Grizzly P.R.I.D.E.
Apple Scholars!
Students in Ms. Felt's Kinder class were all smiles as they completed a numeracy skill! Students were challenged to find any number in the classroom, take a picture, trace the number, and demonstrate what they had learned using discourse.
TEKS & TREATS was a HIT!
We truly appreciate our school community dropping in to learn some essential standards with our scholars! Our community partners brough tons of fun to GFE this week. Our PTO was on deck ALL WEEK to assist with our Book Fair, Candy, Games, and Learning Events.
