Huge thanks to Capital High School for hosting our entire middle school today. Our students were absolutely spellbound by your incredible performance of Frozen! From the stunning sets to the powerhouse vocals, you brought the house down (and the snow!).
We are so lucky to have such a talented high school just down the road. Thank you for the warm welcome and for inspiring our future theater stars! 🎭👏

A huge shoutout to our individual state leaders:
🏹Ameelya Keesler: 1st Place (MS Girls Bullseye) & 2nd Place (3D).

💸 A True "Bite of Reality" for Our Students!
Our Griffin 7th and 8th graders traded their backpacks for briefcases today! In this hands-on financial literacy simulation, students stepped into the shoes of adults to navigate the highs and lows of personal finance.
🧠 What They Learned:
The Career Leap: Each student was assigned a specific job, complete with a monthly salary and "real-life" debt.
Budgeting 101: Students had to manage their monthly income while facing essential expenses like housing, groceries, and transportation.
Making Tough Choices: Students visited various stations to allocate their funds, learning quickly that those "wants" (like dining out) can disappear fast when the "needs" (like bills) come knocking!
A huge thank you to OURCU (Our Community Credit Union) who helped bring this simulation to life. We’re so proud of our students for tackling these adult responsibilities with curiosity and grit!
