Lead by Granby Elementary Principal Heather Perry, staff and students from kindergarten through sixth grade gathered in the cafeteria for their first Gator Bash of the year.

This particular celebration assembly was extra special as it marked their first Gator Bash including Lanigan Elementary School’s fourth grade classes, who have joined the Granby family until current renovations at Lanigan are complete.

In addition, one student from each class was presented with a Respect Role Model Award for demonstrating extraordinary character and being a positive behavior example for other students.
