I also want to make you aware of our “compliment campaign” at Grant. During our most recent Professional Development our staff agreed to make an intentional effort to compliment our scholars even more than usual. We are actively looking for the good in our students and will be complimenting them as they do the big & little things they deserve to be recognized for. We have already felt the contagiousness of this as students are beginning to compliment each other and the adult staff in return!
Have a great rest of your 3-day weekend and we will look forward to seeing you bright and early on Tuesday morning.
There will be no school on Monday, November 11th, in observance of Veteran's Day.
