Grizzly Great Day of Giving

We are excited to share that Piney Grove Middle School will celebrate our G3: Grizzlies’ Great Day of Giving on Friday, March 20. G3 is a treasured Piney Grove tradition focused on service, community, and giving back. It has become a signature experience for our Grizzlies and one that our alumni consistently describe as meaningful and memorable.

All students will participate, and each student will receive a G3 t-shirt and lunch.

Below you will find details for each grade level, as well as links to: G3 Fee & donations, volunteer sign up and grade level competitions.

G3 is a whole community effort and we are excited to give back to our community that serves us so well,

To help cover these costs, as well as materials for service projects, we are asking each family to contribute $20. Please take a moment to pay your student’s G3 fee by clicking HERE.
