We are continuing our new tradition of making masks during art classes and modeling them for families in a parade this year. The parade will be held on October the 23rd at 2:00pm. Parade route is as we did last year, in the Front Parking lot.

Next week, Oct. 17th, is the Student Flu Clinic!

If you have not signed up yet, click here and follow the links! Please remember that your student will NOT be forced to receive the shot!

If they refuse, I will notify you so that you may bring your child to their physician.

Have a great weekend!

The Grantham Village School third grade class is collecting can tabs for David's House. Please send them in whenever you can. We have collected about 1,400 pounds since we began 20 plus years ago! We drop them off at David's House, where a volunteer brings them to a recycling facility for cash. The money is used to help defray operating expenses. Last year we collected 107 pounds! Let’s see if we can collect over 100 pounds again this school year.

Click on the David’s House link to learn more about this community treasure.

Thank you for your support!

Our goal is to eventually only have preschoolers in the buckle lane. If your kiddo is in kindergarten or above - practice, practice, practice! With that said, please continue to use the buckle lane until your child is able to navigate the door and buckles on their own.
