A Message from Principal Badini
Greetings, Graham Road Families!
We will miss seeing students on Monday, October 14 but teachers and staff will be busy at work learning together! We have some exciting professional learning planned that is directly linked to our school goals of building skills to develop strong, enthusiastic readers, mathematicians, communicators and problem solvers in each one of our students!
I want to say thank you to our staff and community partners who came together to organize the community health fair last weekend. I enjoyed seeing students and families as we all learned about the resources available to promote health and wellness.
I am looking forward to the cooler weather, the changing colors of the season and many fun fall events with my family. I hope you are excited about a new season with your own family - I would love to know what you do that is special! Please, share with me at upcoming Graham Road events. Have a wonderful week!

Free and Reduced Meal Applications
Graham Road receives Title 1 funding which is based on the number of families eligible for free and reduced meals. Currently, through the CEP program, all students receive free breakfast and lunch regardless of eligibility. Parents are highly encouraged to complete and submit the free and reduced lunch application, doing so provides families access to benefits such as free school supplies, scholarships for RecPac and Parks and Recreation classes, which are determined based on free or reduced lunch eligibility. Parents can register online at https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application. If you have any questions or need help with registration, please contact Nataly Amurrio, School Social Worker, or Glenda Giroux, Student Registrar.
