In 2020 The Special Elf Mission began. This year they went to schools recognizing teachers that go above and beyond while having strong connections with students. Our Band Director, Mr. Briggs, was recognized today. He received a box full of goodies which had items for his students and for him. This was made possible by the partnership between A Touch Beyond Spa, the Lake County Sheriff's Office, and the Groveland Police Department. Thank you!

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports. At Gray Middle, we incorporate PBIS strategies throughout the school year. One way we do this is by teaching students positive behavior. This month's focus is on Empathy & Compassion. Students learned about this important topic today during Thrive Time. We encourage you to talk with your child about it. Thank you for your support of PBIS!

And the BEST TIME!
