President's Message

Happy Sunday! It was so great to see over 50 of you at our Volunteer Kickoff on Friday. If you missed it, no worries. Reach out to Jen to find out how you can get involved. Spirit Wear orders close this Friday, so make sure to get your shopping done ASAP.

If you are new to MGE, make plans to attend the Griffin Greeters Coffee on Wednesday at 10AM. Details below. Grandparents Week is coming up and we have a fantastic game night planned. All grandparents should mark their calendars for September 9th so they don't miss out on the fun!

Finally, we still have a few homeroom classes with none or only one homeroom parent. If you have a child in the following classes and you are willing to be a homeroom parent, please reach out to Amanda.
