Events that have occurred throughout the last couple of weeks brought to light the need to re-evaluate food and snacks in the school to ensure the safety of our students. Effective immediately, no outside food or snacks can be provided by teachers,
staff, parents, or community members to our GCC students. Please click the link to read a letter from GCC administration about this new implementation.

Dear Griggs Co Families,
Have you completed Finn’s Mission yet for Kids Heart Challenge? Finn is our 2nd grade heart survivor that our school follows each year along his heart journey. He’s had 18 heart surgeries!
To complete Finn’s Mission, log into your KHC website or join at the link http://www2.heart.org/goto/GriggsCo On the main page, it will show the 8 steps to complete Finn’s Mission like learning Hands-Only CPR and the warning signs of Stroke! Once your student completes Finn’s Mission, they’ll receive this special Finn Heart Hero!
Besides raising money, I wanted to emphasize the importance of participating in Kids Heart Challenge. Each student has the opportunity to take a challenge to either BE KIND or BE ACTIVE and we hope they take their pledge seriously as both are good for their hearts! 😊 Ask them what they are doing each day to "be kind" or "be active". :) Everyone has the chance to take part in fun activities during PE class and anyone who registers online will earn a free wristband! We hope your kiddos are learning how to be proactive in taking care of their hearts as well as the importance of helping others.
Speaking of, if you know someone who has suffered a heart attack or stroke, has had a surgical procedure for blocked arteries, takes medication for high blood pressure, has a pacemaker, etc., think about making a donation in their honor or memory tonight at our school’s link. http://www2.heart.org/goto/GriggsCo
Again, we can’t thank you enough for helping in the fight against heart disease and stroke. Together we ARE making a difference.
