Teachers Win!

Teachers Team is now 2-0 against Middle School teams after a win against the Soccer team this afternoon. It was an intense 90 minute game with a final score of 6-5 (yes, I scored a goal).

The MS Soccer team played incredibly well and it was a fantastic game.

I am so incredibly sore

Have a great weekend!

Fun Friday

Congrats to the awesome Middle School Volleyball team. I think I speak for all the teachers when I say we had a blast during our game today and you all played like champs! We should definitely have a game every year.

I know Mrs Harrelson took a took of pics, so check out her Facebook profile for those.

Now we just need to get a game against that soccer team…

In the meantime, have a great weekend and remember to thank those little atoms that make you so unique!

Sports Updates

I’m hearing MS Soccer lost 0-3 tonight but played well.

A the Cross Country event, I got to watch Elizabeth place 12th out of over 100 runners in the girls’ event and Harry place near the front (not sure of exact placement, but he was up there!).

I put up a pic I grabbed of the X Country event on the GriffinScience Facebook page if you’d like to take a look or add any that you might have.

Any other scores out there tonight?

Congrats again on all of your sports accomplishments… competing so well after performing hours of difficult school work is not an easy task!
