Graham Elementary School families,
We’ve officially launched Kids Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association - let’s

recognize a stroke. Here are the next steps to take today:
Sign Up for Kids Heart Challenge by downloading the free “AHA Schools” app for Apple or Android or by clicking HERE.
Be a hero: Send 10 texts TODAY to help save lives.
Complete Finn’s Mission: Learn Hands-Only CPR, earn your lifesavers cape and be entered
to win two Super Bowl tickets!
By signing up and raising funds, you can help us earn gift certificates for physical activity and
recess equipment to support the health & wellness of our school community.
I can’t wait to see our school create a community of lifesavers this year.

We are so excited to welcome our future Kindergarteners! 🎒✏️
If your child will be starting Kindergarten, please call after March 1 to schedule their screening appointment. We can’t wait to meet our newest little learners and start this exciting journey together!

Fifth grade mathematicians participate in a Stand Up - Hand Up - Pair Up activity to share the various strategies they can use to solve multiplication story problems. We are proud of our hardworking Falcons!






We need volunteers for set up, for helping during the event with raffle tickets and concession stand, and for clean up.
Volunteers will receive free admission to the dance to help offset their time away from the dance floor.
Set up Volunteers will need to arrive at 4pm in the cafeteria to help set up until doors open at 5:30pm. Event volunteers will help with raffle tickets and concession stand in one hour increments between 5:30pm and 8pm. Clean up volunteers will help with clean up after the event starting at 8pm.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your children's education!

At Graham Elementary, A Better ME Means a Better WE! When we returned from Winter Break, our Leader In Me Student Lighthouse team hosted a Townhall Meeting for their grades K thru 5 classmates. This assembly included reminders of our GES Wildly Important Goals (WIGS) and a ball drop ceremony just like New Years Eve! Freddy Falcon dropped the ball and the students counted down to a refreshed and excited focus for the second half of the school year!

January has been a month full of hard work, refreshing the focus on our goals and being the best versions of ourselves at school every day! We cannot hide our Graham Elementary Falcon PRIDE!










When the snow arrived at Graham Elementary School, our custodial and maintenance teams stepped up and worked hard! When we returned to school on Thursday, the campus was cleared and accessible for our staff and students. Thank you to all who worked hard in the cold to keep us safe!



Graham Elementary School's pick up and drop off procedures became even more clear and safe with the addition of this signage. Families, please note increased signage to clarify drop off and pick up procedures at Graham Elementary.
We want to send a huge thanks to Streamline Design and Print for your continued support of Graham Local Schools!
