Dear families,
FEATURED IN THE NEWS: Granite Park was featured this week at Fox 13’s “Cool School of the Week”! The segments aired Wednesday and Sunday mornings, and highlighted our student film crew, our after school program, our archery team, our AVID program, our work honoring veterans, and our drama program. Well done students!
LAST MONTH’S FEATURE: Recall that last month, ABC 4 did a segment at our school highlighting our Veterans Day program. Here is the footage: https://www.abc4.com/news/top-stories/granite-park-middle-school-honors-veterans/
PARENT VOLUNTEERS ARE WELCOME: Thank you to parents who have volunteered, especially this months as many teachers are facilitating student projects before the Holiday Break. Parents are always welcome to volunteer. Volunteering can be big or small, one time or ongoing, and with flexible hours and responsibilities. For example, one year we had a parent who could only volunteer early in the morning, so she would walk our school halls once a week and tape up fallen posters. As another example, we have parents volunteering in our FACS program, helping students learn how to cook and sew. Other projects could be helping teachers assemble materials for upcoming projects in their classes. If you would like to help volunteer, you can email your child’s individual teachers, or email me and I can let you know of opportunities that exist.
