Dear Granite Families,
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Our teachers are deeply committed to your students’ success and work so hard throughout the year. Please take a moment to show them some love through kind notes, small gestures, or words of encouragement. Your appreciation means the world to them and helps to inspire their continued dedication.
Our first graders had a fantastic time at their bike rodeo today, practicing safe riding and obeying road signs.
As always, thank you for supporting our wonderful school community. Please reach out anytime with questions or feedback.
Warmly,
Elcena Saline
