Dear Families!
This upcoming week, May 3 - 7, is Teacher Appreciation Week! We can all agree that Graham Road teachers are the best! This year especially, their values and knowledge were so visible to our entire community. Teachers have overcome so much to deliver the best educational experience possible to students this year, both online and in-person. Please take a moment to send your child’s teacher a note of appreciation so they know just how much you appreciate the constant dedication and care they’ve shown this year!

When schools closed suddenly last year, many students had library books that they were unable to return. As a result, Graham Road School Library is missing hundreds of books from the collection. To help us in the process of restoring our collection, we are asking that you check around your home for any library books that need to be returned. They will have a barcode and spine sticker as pictured below.
Students attending school in person can bring books in to return. Please help your student locate the books on the list and return them as soon as possible!
