A Message From Principal Davis
As we close out 2023, I want to wish our whole Grange Family a wonderful holiday/winter break! I hope everyone has a relaxing and safe break filled with fun family time. Our final day in the building will be Thursday, December 21st. Students will work from home on the morning of December 22nd. More information will be coming from your child's teacher soon. I look forward to welcoming everyone back to school in the new year on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2022.

Schoolwide Virtues
December 4th – 15th: Compassion- Compassion is having kind feeling toward someone who is hurt, sad, or in need. It is caring deeply and wanting to help, even if you don’t know them. The holiday season provides a wonderful opportunity to help those in need. Consider volunteering with your child or making a donation to those less fortunate such as our school winter clothing drive.
December 18th- 21st Tolerance- Being tolerant is to accept differences and not expect others to think, look, speak, or act just like you do. It also means accepting things you wish were different with flexibility and patience. Talk with your child how it is unkind to judge or tease someone who is different and how they can make others feel included by being friendly.
