Principal’s Letter

Dear Grand View Families,

As we approach the halfway mark of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your support and partnership in making this first half such a success. It has been a joy to see the growth and accomplishments of each child, and I am so grateful for the encouragement and involvement you provide at home.

Your efforts, whether it’s helping with projects, participating in school activities, or simply cheering on your child’s progress, make such a difference. Together, we’ve created a positive and engaging environment where our students can thrive.

Looking ahead, I am excited for all the opportunities the second half of the year holds. From continued academic growth to new challenges and celebrations, I know this will be a time of even greater discovery and success for our school.

Thank you for all you do, and I look forward to working together to make the rest of the year just as wonderful.

Warm regards,

Francesca

We are excited to announce a special event, “Caroling for a Caring Cause,” hosted in partnership with King Soopers, Choir, and our Student Council. 

On Saturday, December 7, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., our Student Council and Choir members will be singing festive carols in front of the King Soopers in Firestone. This event is an opportunity for our school community to come together and support local families in need.

If you’re able, please consider stopping by to enjoy the caroling and, if possible, donate a dry good, canned food item, diapers, baby wipes, or hygiene products to help those in our community who could use a little extra support this season.

We hope you can join us in spreading holiday cheer and making a positive impact in our community!
