Dear Grizzly Families,There were very few dry eyes in our gym today as we watched our darling kindergarteners perform their American Symbols on Parade program, and our 4th and 5th graders performed their Utah and America program. One of the many highlights of the day was when the 5th graders sang the military anthems and honored the service men and women in the audience and in their families.I recently saw a parody song on TikTok about May being unbelievably busy with lots of middle-of-the-day activities for adults to attend. May at Granite is jam-packed with school events and I know how challenging this is for many people. Thank you all for supporting our students and our teachers from here or from afar. We appreciate you very much.Field Day Help Requested – A Message from PTA: This year we have a really GRRRREAT day planned Thursday, May 25th. We need your help to bring it all together.
