A Message from the Principal, Mrs. Michelle Gayle
Greetings to all Tigers! I hope that this newsletter finds everyone safe
and sound. I am happy to report that Griffin Middle did not suffer any
damage due to TS Frances. Please stay prepared and ready as the hurricane
season continues.
Our Leadership Skills Class is on the move! Mrs. Sanders and her Leadership
Skills class proudly provide the morning announcements each Thursday for
our school. These announcements also include a “radio talk show” that
focuses on making positive choices in all that we do. Special thanks are
extended to Courtney Brooks, Justin Dupree, Brittnee Taff and William
Wilson for entertaining us and giving us practical food for thought
concerning positive choices and thoughts about our self-concept. Self –
concept is how we feel about ourselves. Please talk to your child about our
radio talk show.
Finally, I would like to ask all parents to continue to work with their
child concerning manners and high expectations during lunch time. It is
imperative that all students use table voices and great manners during
lunch. If a student has to be reminded of the rules several times, that
student will have to serve a lunch detention immediately. Please do not
hesitate to call upon me at 488.8436 or email me. Have a safe weekend and a
positive week!
Griffin Middle School After School Program

Middle School students. The hours of operation are from 2:50 PM—4:30 PM.
Students who normally ride a LCSB bus to and/or from school will be allowed

Tiger Team Health Tips
Water is the best beverage!!
It has no calories. It quenches thirst better than any other drink
A well hydrated person thinks better, looks better, and feels better.
If you drank a 12-ounce bottle of water instead of juice or soda each day
could save at least 4,500 calories in a month. - That’s nearly 6 cups of
sugar!
Be as active as you can.
The more active you are the better your body works. Pick activities that
you like to do so that it is easy to keep doing them.
Limit your screen time (TV, computer, video games, etc.) to less than two
hours per day. Get your friends and family involved. Good examples of
activities are walking, dancing, bike riding, and playing ball with friends.
