We have fantastic items and experiences donated by our generous community that you will not want to miss. Name the Gym, Name the Cafeteria, Birthday Visit from Grizz, Teacher for the Day, too many gift cards and baskets to list and beautiful diamond earrings.

We are in need of candy to use as carnival game prizes for GrizzFest. Please send unopened bags of wrapped candy to the front office by Wed, Nov. 6th. No chocolate or candy with nuts please!

We still need volunteers for GrizzFest. There are a few slots open for monitoring the inflatables, please check out the signup genius to see if you can fill one of the slots.
