We are excited to continue sharing all of the Grizzly Good News happening throughout Granger! From student successes and staff celebrations to special events, activities, and important building updates, this newsletter is a great way to stay connected to all of the wonderful things happening in our Granger community.


New this year, Grizzly Good News will be shared on Mondays and will provide families with more detailed building updates, upcoming events, celebrations, reminders, and other important information for the week ahead.


Our Daily Announcements will continue in a simplified format, providing families with quick, timely updates about what is happening each day at Granger.
