FROM THE DESK OF PRINCIPAL SOILEAU
Dear Griffin Community/Parents and Guardians,
This week marked a monumental milestone in the history of our school—20 years of Excellence in Education! It is a celebration of the countless students, families, teachers, and staff who have made our school a vibrant and thriving community.
As I reflect back on the past two decades, I am filled with gratitude for our early days to where we stand today, our growth and success are a testament to the dedication and commitment of everyone involved. Our school has always been more than just a place to learn—it’s a place where curiosity is nurtured, friendships are formed, and futures are shaped. As we look ahead to the next 20 years, I am excited about the continued growth of our students and our community. Together, we will build on the foundation laid over the past two decades and ensure that every student continues to have the opportunity to thrive, learn, and succeed. Thank you to all who have been part of our journey. Here's to many more years of shared success and achievement!
Lastly, we want to say congratulations to 6th Grader, Neha Karakavalasa, who won the Griffin Spelling Bee!
Warm regards,
Principal Soileau
