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!

Happy Snow Day, GES Falcon Family! It’s Habit Hero time!
We’ve made it back to Habit 1: Be Proactive! Falcons reminded us how to take responsibility for our own actions by remembering what is within our own circle of control. When we do this, we thoroughly think about and very intentionally choose what actions we will take to best set ourselves up for greatness! We take personal initiative to achieve success!
As we start the second semester of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Nance, and this is my first year as the person leading the library at Graham Elementary. I have worked for the district for six years and am enjoying this new chapter. I am also a proud, multigenerational Falcon alum.
This year, some of your students may have brought home notices regarding unreturned library books. We have implemented a checkout policy requiring that a book be returned before a new one can be checked out. Please note that if books are not returned, a charge will be added to your student’s school fees.
In addition, any books not returned from the 2024–2025 school year forward are subject to charges.
Please send any library books in with your student, or feel free to communicate with me if a book has been damaged or misplaced.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to serving your students this year.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Nance
Graham Elementary Library

⛄When the Weather Outside is Frightful...Potential Online Learning Days⛄
As the Winter season comes in full-swing, so might come more calamity days. Ohio districts are "allowed" five calamity days each year and, at Graham Local Schools, we have currently used 3 of our 5 days.
In the event that all five of our calamity days are used, Graham Local Schools will implement "online learning days".
