We wish our Eagles and their families a fun, safe, happy and healthy summer!

We’ll see you back here on August 14th!

Enjoy your summer!

Over 300 Eagles completed their ST Math Program and were invited to a

grade level ST Math Party hosted by Mr. Gibbons. Students enjoyed free

time, popsicles and popcorn! Way to go Eagles!

In the fall of 2013, during my first week as Principal of Griffith, I took this fun

photo with some of our PK students. Now, 6 years later, these kids are leaving

Griffith to be amazing 5th graders at Clute Intermediate. Thank you, Jr.,

Brayden, Aryon & Fernando for recreating this picture with me. – Dr. Matt

A Look Back

Custodian of the Month

ST Math Party

Congratulations to Rosa Robledo for

being chosen Employee of the Month in

our Custodial Department. Rosa helps

keep Griffith a clean, healthy place to be,

and we are blessed to have her on our

campus! Thank you!

All STAAR Saturday Drone Winners

Third and Fourth grade Eagles who attended

the All STAAR Saturday program received

additional tutoring in preparation for the

STAAR Tests. Each week PTO provided pizza

and prizes and, as an added bonus at the end of

the 6 weeks, those students who attended all 6

weeks were put in a drawing for a drone!

Thanks to our generous parents and PTO for

donating the drones and to everyone who

participated in the program helping our Eagles

to be prepared for their STAAR tests!

Janice’s Storybook Summer

Special thanks to the Brazosport Rotary Club for

sponsoring Janice's Storybook Summer at Griffith.

We had 5 guest readers in our 1st grade classrooms.

Thank you to Margaret and Orren Gaspard, Patricia

Sardan, Carolina Damian and Eldona Menefee. After

enjoying a story called “The Best Chef in 2nd Grade”

each student was given a book to take home for the

summer. Janice's Storybook Summer takes place each

May in memory of a BISD teacher, Janice Eubanks.

Thanks to continued community support, the project

has been presenting books for 12 years.

Our Kindergarteners did an

amazing job in their

“Oh the Places You’ll Go”

performance! They also had

their Kindergarten Graduation

during the evening

performance! Congratulations

to all of you! We know you’ll

go places you never imagined

and accomplish great things!

Thank you to Mrs. Schurtz

and the staff who assisted her

in organizing and planning

this program!

EPIC Program

performer and Mascot Kazoo

and Ms. Gonzales for

participating in the program. A

special thanks to Mrs. Lopez for

to go Eagles!

Eagles enjoyed bouncy houses, water slides, snacks, ice pops, dancing,

music and games of all kinds during the end of the year festivities. Thank
