🎭🌟 Step into the enchanting world of Graham Elementary where the stars of tomorrow shone brightly in their dazzling performance of Annie Jr.! From the heartwarming melodies of "N.Y.C" to the iconic anthem "Tomorrow," and the spirited rendition of "It's a Hard Knock Life," our third to fifth graders lit up the stage with their talent and passion! 🎶🌟
But wait, the spotlight belongs to Tilynn, who stole the hearts of the audience with her performance of Annie ! Each child, a true star, showcased their incredible singing and acting skills! 🌟
Under the expert guidance of Mrs. Jennifer McFadden, these young performers embarked on a magnificent journey, learning the art of theater and embracing the magic of the stage! 🎭🌟
At Graham Elementary, we know that theater isn't just about performances—it's about building confidence, fostering creativity, and honing valuable life skills. From boosting self-expression to enhancing communication, theater empowers our kids in remarkable ways, both on and off the stage. 🌟✨
Congratulations to Graham's Jimmy John's

We were notified by First Student that due to a higher than normal shortage of bus drivers today, there will be buses ruing late to their scheduled bus stop. Please monitor your student's bus stops.
Also, all changes to buses have been entered into the First View App. You can use this app to track your student's bus and be informed of any bus number changes. We appreciate your patience and cooperation this morning.
