You will hear Board of Education members reading and sharing experiences, while parents present career information and share hobbies that leave children in awe. Recently, as a part of an integrated language arts and social studies theme, a parent, who is an architect, helped children design their own city. As an extension of a science thematic unit, another parent presented ocean creatures and shells from her massive childhood collection. You will smell the aromatic spices of a special, flavored, absolutely tantalizing fettuccine sauce as a father, a chef, facilitates as his daughter teaches her class how to make homemade pasta. Your taste buds will also come alive as a parent works with a teacher making latke during an integrated lesson on holidays, cultures and traditions around the world.
Excellence walks into our schoolhouse on two feet everyday.
Sometimes the shoes that cover the feet are a size two, six, eight, or twelve. Sometimes, excellence comes in on crutches or in a wheelchair. Enter our doors and you, too, will feel the pride and electric enthusiasm. More than three hundred parent volunteers and community members are an integral part of our family. Griswold School is rich in tradition.
