Our wonderful LCS partner Super-Lube has provided GMS with a Super-Lube Rewards Card for all of our parents and staff. The card is a fundraiser for Griffin and the more we use the cards, the more dollars we can raise for our school! Remember, individuals receive an 8% discount on their total bill and Griffin receives 7% in fundraising revenue. We distributed these cards to every student in August, but additional cards can be picked up in the front office. Thanks for your support!
