What's Exciting at Graham Elementary?
Yesterday K-2 had the pleasure of two local authors coming to visit.
Ms. Brenda Major and Ms. Mia Dawson helped Graham students conclude their studies of authors and Black History Month.
They all LOVED hearing about Not All Frogs Are Green!
Congratulations to Graham's Allstar - Miara Torres!
Miara is a 5th grader in Mr. Creek's class. Her artwork, Mystical Landscape, was submitted by Ms. Carruthers who is Graham's art teacher.
The 10th International Art Competition Architecture of Lublin awarded Miara with the "Director's Commendation" and some new art supplies.
We love to support, recognize and celebrate our students' accomplishments!!!
Please let us know if your student has any achievements we can celebrate.

Springfield and Central Illinois African American History Museum collected our student's artwork and then had the pieces professionally framed and hung to create an exhibit at the museum.
All of the pieces of art were either created by an African American artist or they depict the African American experience.
We appreciate the AAHM & their commitment to showcasing our students' work in celebrating Black History.
You can visit the gallery February 18th - March 31st, Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 pm - 4:00 p.m.

Because of the demand for appointments and immunization in our community, the Board of Education is allowing school nurses to accept documentation of your child’s scheduled physical and immunizations so that they may remain in school.

Graham Elementary Picture Day Wednesday, August 10th!
A beautiful bench was dedicated and two trees were planted in Lincoln Park in honor of Chuck Flamini. Lanphier High School teacher, Scott Metzke, collected donations from current and former LHS staff to purchase the bench and trees. Yesterday ,friends and family gathered for the dedication at Lincoln Park. Chuck left his mark on our community as a friend, teacher, union activist, school administrator and school board member. You can visit the Flamini bench in Lincoln park right beside the playground area. "I picked this spot because it faces towards Lanphier High School" said Scott Metzke.

We are very proud of our 5th graders that competed today at the Rube Goldberg Engineering in the Classroom competition at the University of Illinois. Our event was one of many going on for the Engineering Open House and our students got to participate in and watch many different engineering activities. We would like to thank Kim Tribbet and Brian Manci, our volunteer engineers that have worked with our students over the last 4 years. And we have a special thank you to the Sinnott family for donating the AWESOME shirts that our team got to wear during this event.
