A big thank you for the Cookie Exchange treats for all the staff, it was much appreciated. Please have a restful upcoming Holiday!
Locker/Cubby Clean Up
Students will be doing a thorough cleaning of their spaces before they go home for the holidays so please send an extra bag. It’s a good time to see if Indoor shoes still fit.
Staff Update
We wanted to share with the larger community that the amazing Ms. Olsen has made a decision to retire before the winter break. Ms. Olsen helped to open Griffith Woods as a brand new school and so many of you will know her well. She is always calm, always kind and does an exceptional job here for the staff, students and families at Griffith Woods. It will no doubt leave a big hole in our hearts when she leaves, but we wanted families to know so that they could have the time to share their special farewells and memories with her before her retirement. If you wanted to reach out to her personally, her email is tlolsen@cbe.ab.ca.
