Thank you to the fourth grade teachers for allowing Mr Franklin the time to visit every class this week in PE for a shooting exhibition. Obviously the slam dunk was the all time favorite of every class. Thank you Mr Franklin for coming and making the kids day.

Kindergarten learned to vote using the book: Duck! Rabbit! The students voted on whether they thought they saw a duck or a rabbit in the pictures. After filling out a ballot, they cast their votes in the ballot box. We then tallied the votes to see which animal won!

The weather has changed dramatically since we were last at school. Please remember to send you children with their coat tomorrow. We will go out for recess. Thank you.
Days like today feel magical. Happy Thursday.
No school tomorrow. We will be back in session Wednesday and Thursday. No school on Friday as it is Veteran’s Day.
Caution!! ⚠️ Artists hard at work!
Today 7th and 8th graders at Grant got to work with artists from SIUe to do a collaborative mural for the developing Art Village in Fairview Heights (across from Grant)! They worked together to paint sections of the mural, and the artist will finish with some details, and hopefully in the next few weeks we will have a finished mural of local botanicals. Check it out when you drive by - in the old Casey’s parking lot across from Grant
