What is GrizzFest?

GrizzFest, to be held on Friday, November 8th, is MGE PTA's largest fundraiser that includes carnival games, inflatables, a DJ, a silent auction, raffle baskets, food and lots of fun.

Volunteer Information

Congratulations and thank you to our Volunteers of the Month. These wonderful ladies have been tirelessly volunteering throughout the summer and into the start of the school year. Estefany created and put up all of the adorable bulletin boards throughout the school. Jessica is our spirit wear extraordinaire who has created and filled orders with the shirts that our kiddos enjoy wearing each week. Kendra is our fearless PTA President who has jumped right into her role and keeps everything going. We couldn't do it without her. Julissa is in charge of school supplies and organized the delivery of those to classrooms for Meet the Teacher. She is also in charge of our PTA webpage. Thank you so much ladies! Griffin Elementary is a better place because of YOU!
