Toy Drive
Student Council is hosting a toy drive for our community. Your help is needed to collect toys for children birth thru 12 years of age and Wal-Mart gift cards for teenagers up to age 18. All donated toys will be given to the Department of Family and Children Services to be distributed to needy families for Christmas.
Griffin High Students are asked to bring new toys that are unwrapped and give them to your first period teacher. All toys will be collected each day so that we can maintain a count of toys. We will have a celebratory event before Christmas if we reach our goal. Our goal is to have EVERY member of the Griffin High family (students, staff, and faculty) bring a toy or gift card to help support our toy drive.
The deadline to bring toys is December 12, 2013.
If you have questions or would like to donate toys, please email Leslie Fagin at leslie.fagin@gscs.org.

Griffin High’s Remind 101
Remind 101 is an easy way for you to receive updates about class work, school events and news, and anything a teacher or administrator would like to communicate to you. In order to receive the updates, you must sign up for them. It’s as easy as texting a short code to a phone number and you’re then enrolled to receive messages. All phone numbers that enroll are kept private and cannot be viewed by the sender. Also, it is a one way messaging system designed just for news distribution; a student or parent cannot reply to the messages. Griffin High hopes that you will enroll so that you can get information and news concerning the school.
Enrolling is easy:
