Grant Elementary School & Primary Center

Caring Coins Competition (a helpful holiday competition) December 2-December 18th the PC and EL will be holding a "Caring Coins" competition between grade levels. Each grade level will have a milk jug for coin collecting in their building. Students can put coins or dollars in the jug for their grade level any day from the 2nd through the 18th. All of the money collected will be donated to the PC and EL Caring Closet Program for things like warm and toasty clothing, vision care support, food support, etc. Anything we can do to meet the needs of kiddos who need our Caring Support!. The grade level that collects the most money will win the privilege of wearing their pajamas to school on December 20th. If the PC and EL staff and students collect $1000 or more as a team, ALL staff and students will be invited to wear their Pls on December 20th. We are excited to have a little holiday fun and give back to others in our school

Please remember, drop off time is 7:45am. We do not have staff on duty before this time to keep students safe. Many students are dropped off earlier and are running and playing along the sidewalk or playing with balls that fall into traffic. YIKES! Please help by following drop off times so our kiddos are safe! Thanks
