Volunteers
Granger has the most amazing parent volunteers!  We appreciate all of the many hours of hard work that our volunteers have dedicated to making our school a better place!  Just a friendly reminder...as stated in the
 Volunteer Handbook...

Parent volunteers should make arrangements for siblings and/or other children while volunteering in the classroom. Younger children and older siblings can be distracting to the educational environment.

Registration is closed for the 8th Annual NISD Reindeer Romp 5K and 1 mile fun.  No race day registration will be available.  We're asking our families who registered to join us in the Granger "Whoville" tent on Saturday before the race. Feel free to dress up like a "Who"! If you have any unwanted Christmas decorations that could be used to decorate, please drop them by the front office. Contact Coach Morrow at tmorrow01@nisdtx.org if you are available to help to decorate our tent. Be on the lookout for an email from Coach Morrow this week with details about t-shirts and packet pick-up. 
Snowflake Grams
December is the time of year where Student Council has Snowflake Grams to raise money for the Angle Tree. The Snowflake Grams will be sold the week of December 7th-11th. We will be selling them from 7:20am to 7:45am in the front of the school and the back as well. Each Snowflake can be delivered to anyone in the school (teachers, friends, classmates, etc.). Each snowflake will cost $0.50. Cash only, please. Make sure you stop by and buy one so you can put a smile on your friends face, and help a family in need!

Thank You
Granger,
 
I received the check in the mail yesterday for the phenomenol amount of money you raised on your pizza night.  Never in my wildest thoughts was I anticipating so much. 
 
That money will allow us to do several things for our hospitalized veterans that we had not yet funded.   It will also cover the shipping costs of our boxes to current military members.
 
We love you all.  How can we show your campus how much we appreciate all this?
