I hope that you and your family are enjoying those last few beach days but feel, as I do, a sense of excitement as we turn to the new school year ahead. Before we launch into what promises to be an exciting year, I wanted to update the community on a few changes on the Granby Board of Education.
Cheri Burke, Granby’s superintendent of schools, announced that Heather Tanis has been selected as the principal of Granby Memorial Middle School.
Katharine Leenders has been appointed to fill Sarah Thrall’s remaining term. Come November, she will be running in the next election.
I am delighted to introduce the overarching theme for Granby Public Schools’ year ahead: Let Kindness Ripple.
During the lazy, hazy days of summer, public schools go on a welcome hiatus. Children enjoy staying up late, attending camp, playing with friends and setting out on family vacations while teachers and administrators sleep late and loll around the pool, right? Wrong.
The Sylvia Davis Art Foundation has made a financial donation, for the second year, to the Oak Hill School special education students’ creative arts program.
The GMHS Athletic Booster Club is excited to support our athletes and school community as the 2023-2024 fall sports season gets underway!
Congratulations to the winners of the annual Granby Parents for a Safe Graduation Art Contest. Seniors were invited to submit original artwork and the winning submission was featured on the Safe Grad t-shirt and used for the party invitation.
Asst. Coach Justin Piwonski, Jacob Shine, BOE Chair Sarah Thrall and Asst. Superintendent Jennifer Parsons unveil the updated GMHS outdoor track State Championship banner.
