FROM THE DESK OF PRINCIPAL SOILEAU

Dear Griffin Community/Parents and Guardians,

As we move into November, I want to take a moment to thank everyone for your continued support in making this school year a success. Our students have shown incredible growth, both academically and socially, and we are excited to keep that momentum going through the end of the semester.

This week, the students had a STEM activity, learned about Veterans, and building reliance activity during advisory. We had a lot of fun together! We also kicked off our basketball season. Go Gators! Our Theater Department also had a wonderful performance of Frozen on Thursday. Come and see this amazing play this Friday evening!

I am so proud of our talented Griffin Gators and all of the dedicated staff that support them! Your partnership is invaluable as we work together to help our students thrive. Thank you for all that you do to support our school community. Let’s continue to make this an outstanding year for our students!

Warm regards,

Principal Soileau
