Granger ISD -

This week has been a very busy one around here with spirit week themes and the last week of school before the break, but we can’t forget Santa’s visit on Monday! The smiles, excitement, and pure joy from our kids made it extra special, and they absolutely loved every moment. A huge thank you to our special senior, Keegan Cotten, without him, this wouldn’t have been possible 😉

Break a leg to our One Act Play team competing today! All the hard work, long rehearsals, and dedication are about to shine on stage. We’re so proud of you! Go out there and give an amazing performance!

December 7-13, Granger ISD students in our FFA Chapter and local 4-H clubs competed in the WCLA Livestock Show and Wilco Youth Fair.

Santa vs. Elves Day! Come dressed as jolly ol’ Santa or one of his magical helpers from the North Pole.

Gingerbread Man on the loose! On Friday morning, our kindergarteners made gingerbread cookies and dropped them off in the cafeteria. When they returned, some of the gingerbread men had run away! The hunt was on as students searched all around campus following clues they left, and when they finally found them, the mischievous gingerbread men had made it back to their classrooms and left quite a mess. It was such a fun and memorable experience for our students!

We invite you to join us for an evening of music on Thursday, December 18, as our bands from grades 6–12 take the stage for our Christmas Band Concert! Our students have been working hard, and we would love to share their progress and performances with our school and community.

We hope to see students, families, and community members there to support our incredible band musicians. Please see the attached flyer for more details.
