🐻📚 Congratulations on Reading 100,000 Minutes! 💛💙Wear a Word Wednesday is TOMORROW! 📚🐻
Granby families, join the fun! Have your Granby Bear wear a word tomorrow to celebrate the power of words and a love of learning. It can be a word on a shirt, a homemade sign, piece of tape, or sticker. We can't wait to see the words our Bears wear to school! They will be asked what their word means so please make sure it's school appropriate and that they know the definition. 💛💙

Our GES Bears will be greeted by EMS and the Grand County Sheriff’s Department for High Fives! Please don’t be alarmed if you see ambulances and patrol vehicles around the school. They’re here to help us welcome our bears and start their day and week with a little excitement and encouragement! 🐻💙
Hi Granby Families,
With the time change this weekend, many of our students will be waiting at bus stops or walking to and from school in the dark.
Thanks to a generous donation from Grand County Public Health, your child may be bringing home a reflective armband today to help them be more visible in low-light conditions.
Please encourage your child to wear their armband in their backpack or sleeve when walking or waiting for the bus in the dark. It’s a small way to help keep our Granby Bears safe!
Thank you, Grand County Public Health, for helping us look out for our students!
Warmly,
Kelly Martin
Principal, Granby Elementary School

Join us tonight for our monthly PTO meeting! We start at 6:00.
Dear Granby Families,
One of the most important parts of our work at Granby is partnering with you to support your child’s growth and success. Parent-teacher conferences are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate accomplishments, and discuss academic progress, social development, and any areas where your child may need additional support.
Our K-5 fall parent-teacher conferences will be held on October 28 and 29, from 5:00–8:00 p.m. We ask that every family schedule a conference with their child’s teacher.
Each conference will be 20 minutes long, and appointment times are limited. If you have children in multiple grades, please sign up for a conference with each child’s teacher. We recommend staggering your appointment times to allow enough time to move between classrooms.
Please sign up at Sign Up. You should be able to navigate between grades at the file folders on the top or with the drop down. Please make sure to sign up with your child's teacher.
We value the partnership we share with our Granby families and look forward to connecting with you, celebrating your child’s growth, and working together to support their continued success!
Warmly,
Kelly Martin
Principal, Granby Elementary School
The 2nd Grade Barn Dance is tonight at 6:00 in the GES gym! This is one of the best performances of the year. Can't wait to see everyone.
If you are a family that is learning English as an additional language we would love to have you join our family engagement session on October 5th and 6th. 4:45-6:15 pm. If you would like to sign up please call 970-887-3312 to register.

Dear Granby Elementary Families,
This fall, Unbridled is bringing hundreds of employees to Granby for Camp Unbridled. Unbridled is a family of companies that creates events and experiences around the world, and a big part of who we are is giving back in the communities that welcome us.
That’s why UnbridledACTS is partnering with Granby Elementary this year.
On Friday, October 2 at 10:00 AM, we’d love to invite all Granby Elementary PK–5 students and their families to join us at Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains for Steps for Good.
Our Granby Bears can put being safe, kind, and helpful into action by volunteering alongside us — cheering on Unbridled employees during the 5K, encouraging participants, and helping create an energetic finish line. Students will also have the opportunity to join the final stretch and cross the finish line together.
And while our students are there giving back, we want to celebrate them too.
Every Granby Elementary student who attends will get to participate in a special shoe-shopping and fitting experience. Students will try on different styles, choose their favorite pair, and confirm their size. Their new shoes will then be ordered and delivered to Granby Elementary after the event.
There will also be a few fun surprises along the way.
Friday, October 2 | 10:00 AM
Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains
Families are responsible for transportation to and from Sun Outdoors and for supervising their children during the event.

Number of Granby Elementary students attending
Number of adults attending
Grade(s) of your student(s)
