Janice’s Storybook Summer
Special thanks to the Brazosport Rotary Club for
sponsoring Janice's Storybook Summer at Griffith.
We had 5 guest readers in our 1st grade classrooms.
Thank you to Margaret and Orren Gaspard, Patricia
Sardan, Carolina Damian and Eldona Menefee. After
enjoying a story called “The Best Chef in 2nd Grade”
each student was given a book to take home for the
summer. Janice's Storybook Summer takes place each
May in memory of a BISD teacher, Janice Eubanks.
Thanks to continued community support, the project
has been presenting books for 12 years.
Our Kindergarteners did an
amazing job in their
“Oh the Places You’ll Go”
performance! They also had
their Kindergarten Graduation
during the evening
performance! Congratulations
to all of you! We know you’ll
go places you never imagined
and accomplish great things!
Thank you to Mrs. Schurtz
and the staff who assisted her
in organizing and planning
this program!
EPIC Program
We would like to thank the
performer and Mascot Kazoo
from EPIC Entertainment for
visiting Griffith to encourage
our Eagles to do their best on the
STAAR Tests. They shared
important information with our
students and engaged them in fun
games. Thank you to Ms. Sidney
and Ms. Gonzales for
participating in the program. A
special thanks to Mrs. Lopez for
organizing the program!
Griffith 4th Graders joined students from Ogg
