sailboats with certified sailing instructors. The clinic will cost $25

We have a National winner in our midst! BIG congrats to Kiersten Morris whose photograph was recognized as the National PTA
Reflections winner!

Next Monday students will be able to join our “Stress and Tests”
day. By picking up a ribbon when you get
to school and wearing it all day long, you’ll show support for yourself and
your peers who struggle with stress-related issues and depression and send the
message “by wearing this ribbon, I am here for you.” Thanks to one of our own Gryphon students who
came up with this idea at this very stressful time of year!

of the day from Robert Collier:
Success is the
sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
Like doing your homework and turning it
in! Do the small stuff to prepare for
the big stuff students! J
