Graham Elementary School families,
We’ve officially launched Kids Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association - let’s

recognize a stroke. Here are the next steps to take today:
Sign Up for Kids Heart Challenge by downloading the free “AHA Schools” app for Apple or Android or by clicking HERE.
Be a hero: Send 10 texts TODAY to help save lives.
Complete Finn’s Mission: Learn Hands-Only CPR, earn your lifesavers cape and be entered
to win two Super Bowl tickets!
By signing up and raising funds, you can help us earn gift certificates for physical activity and
recess equipment to support the health & wellness of our school community.
I can’t wait to see our school create a community of lifesavers this year.

We are so excited to welcome our future Kindergarteners! 🎒✏️
If your child will be starting Kindergarten, please call after March 1 to schedule their screening appointment. We can’t wait to meet our newest little learners and start this exciting journey together!

Fifth grade mathematicians participate in a Stand Up - Hand Up - Pair Up activity to share the various strategies they can use to solve multiplication story problems. We are proud of our hardworking Falcons!
