📚 Rue’s Wrap: A Gift of Words!
We are so grateful for our wonderful community partners! Today, the Steamboat Peninsula Lions Club stopped by to continue their amazing annual tradition of donating dictionaries to our 3rd graders.
Seeing the excitement on their faces as they flipped through their very own books was the highlight of my week. These aren't just for the classroom—these are theirs to keep and use to explore the world of language.
Thank you, Lions Club, for investing in our Griffin Grizzlies! 🐻❤️

Numbers, Games, and Family Fun! 🎲
We had an incredible turnout for Family Math Night! It was wonderful to see our students and their families teaming up to tackle puzzles, dominate board games, and prove that math is anything but boring.
A huge thank you to all the volunteers and families who made this night such a "plus" for our community! ➕➖✖️➕

🍎 Community Spotlight: Fueling Student Success!
At our February 25, 2026 Board Meeting, the Griffin School District was honored to celebrate a local champion for our students: Athena O’Neill.
Athena, representing the Steamboat Peninsula branch of the Olympia Lions Club, was officially recognized for her incredible work with our weekend food bag program. Thanks to her leadership and the coordination of resources through the Lions Club, our ability to support families in need has never been stronger.
💫Why It Matters
A student who is hungry cannot focus on learning. Athena’s dedication ensures that the "safety net" for our students stays secure even when school is out for the weekend. As the Board shared:
"We are deeply grateful for Athena’s dedication to student nutrition and her tireless spirit of community service."
🤝 A Partnership for Good
This collaboration highlights the vital link between local service organizations and educational success. It’s more than just logistics—it’s about a deep-seated commitment to the health and readiness of every Griffin student.
📦 Need a Hand? We’ve Got You.
The weekend food bag program is available to all Griffin families.
✔️Confidential: Your privacy is our priority.
✔️Discreet: Bags are distributed quietly on Friday mornings.
✔️ Easy: Sign up anytime!

Shoutout to Team Potkonjak - Class Congress! They envisioned and executed a community project that brought together students and staff from across the pod.
By collecting individual hearts from our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade classes, they constructed this incredible visual reminder that everyone belongs! We are so proud of our students for leading with kindness and inclusion 🐾❤️
