What an incredible day of music and culture at Griffin School! 🥁🌎
We were so lucky to host the amazing Miho & Diego Duo for an immersive "Musical Trip Around the World." Our students didn't just listen—they jumped right in! Throughout the day, every student had the chance to participate, learning everything from Japanese Taiko drumming to the rhythms of the Andean quena and the marimba.
Miho and Diego’s unique blend of Latino, Japanese, and American traditions brought so much energy to our halls. It was inspiring to see our students exploring new languages, trying out rare instruments, and discovering the power of cultural connection through music.
Huge thanks to Miho and Diego for sharing your talent and heritage with us! 🎶✨

RUE'S WRAP!
Adventure Awaits at Camp Read-A-Lot! 🏕️
2nd graders are counting down to the end of the school year with the alphabet! For today’s Letter C theme, their classrooms were transformed into Camp Read-A-Lot. 📚✨
I had a blast visiting our young explorers. From cozy tents and flashlights to "Camp Counselor" Jenson leading the way, the creativity was off the charts. We even had a surprise visit from Gus, who couldn't resist joining the fun! 🐻
It’s moments like these that make learning such a great adventure for our Grizzlies.
Happy Camping! 🐾🌲
