Superintendent's Message: Show Choirs an Asset to GSD

In the Grenada School District, the arts are not simply an offering—they are a vital and thriving part of who we are. From our stellar, award-winning band program to our engaging, hands-on elementary arts experiences and exceptional high school offerings, our commitment to the arts is evident at every level. Nowhere is that more evident than in the continued excellence and growth of our show choir programs. 

Mobile FABLab Brings Innovation to Every 6th Grader at GMS

GMS Hosts Literacy Night

Grenada Middle School hosted its Literacy Night in February, and it was a great night for our students and families.

This year’s theme, A Night at the Museum, brought learning to life in a fun and interactive way. Students rotated through different stations where they were able to read, write, and take part in hands-on activities connected to different time periods and literacy topics.

GES Students Celebrate Birthdays Differently

Birthdays just got even more special for Grenada Elementary Pre-K - 2 students with the addition of the library’s Book Nook Vending Machine. Located near the library entrance, the machine works much like a traditional vending machine—but instead of snacks or drinks, it dispenses books. Students celebrating a birthday can select from a range of titles, including popular fiction, leveled readers, graphic novels, and age-appropriate non-fiction. The library also provides a selection of board books.

GMS Students Participate in "Poultry Hatch-Out" Program
