Dear Granite Families,
What incredible support you all have shown our school during the PTA fundraiser. Thank you so much for your time and donations – the PTA raised over $22,000! The impact these PTA sponsored events have on our school community is immense and we thank you for your involvement and donations.
I want to give a massive shoutout to our amazing PTA for putting together a massive fun run event today and for arranging for Huntr/x to visit! I think the most special thing though is seeing every student in their Granite tee-shirt showing school pride!
As always, thank you for supporting our wonderful school community. Please reach out anytime with questions or feedback.
Warmly,
Elcena Saline
