Dear Grant Ranch Families,
It was such a pleasure to see so many of you at our Thanksgiving Lunch this week; there is something so special about coming together and sharing food. Additionally, we were able to recognize our amazing Grizzlies along with our veterans and AFROTC cadets from Mapleton School District, learn more about flag etiquette, and receive an American flag from the cadets for our school. I hope that you and your family enjoy this Thanksgiving Break and have the opportunity to gather with those who are important to you. I hope that you can take a moment to reflect on what you are grateful for and share those gratitudes with those who make you feel that way. We look forward to seeing all of our Grizzlies back in the building on Monday, December 2nd, as we continue the Fall Grizzly Roll Call!
