Message from the Principal, Mrs. Michelle Gayle
Our first week in October has come to an end and what an exciting week this
has been! All-State auditions took place this week and our students did a
great job. I want to recognize and congratulate Kelsey Kirk, Loren Clement,
Desiree Green, Taneria Anderson, Kwanzaa Walker, Maisha Alexander, and Matt
Barnhart for all of their hard work and effort. I  would also like to thank
Mr. Whitfield, our choral director, for all that he does for our music
programs!

Our School Advisory Council and PTO met on Tuesday, October 5, 2004. Our
meetings were productive and well attended. We even had School Board Member
Fred Varn visit our meeting and thank all participants for what they do to
keep Griffin Middle School moving full speed ahead! Please plan to join us
next month for our PTO meeting scheduled on Tuesday, November 2, 2004 from
7:00—8:00 PM in the Media Center.

Our health and fitness tip for the week is to get the calcium—not the fat!
Did you know that you could save 400 pounds of fat and 1.5 million calories
in your lifetime by drinking skim milk instead of whole milk every day?
Finally, please do not hesitate to call upon me  or email me if I can
assist you in any matter. Have a positive week!
