Today, North Graham Elementary honored our local heroes with a heartwarming First Responders Parade. Students and staff lined the car rider route, cheering and waving flags as members of the Graham Police Department and Fire Department marched by. Fifth graders led a special program, including the Pledge of Allegiance, and raised the American flag. On this September 11th, we celebrated our local heroes and remembered the fallen, highlighting the bravery and sacrifice of first responders. Thank you to all who serve and protect our community!

North Graham Elementary took their annual Arts Night to new heights with an out-of-this-world space theme! 🚀 The gymnasium was mission control for the 3rd-grade performances, directed by Drama Teacher Corrie Su, where each class wrote and performed their own charming (and informative) screenplays about the solar system. 🌞🪐 The cosmic creativity didn't stop there! Kathryn Combs, Visual Arts teacher, hosted a floating art show exhibiting unique alien clay creations made by students from all grades. Visitors had close encounters with these beings from another world. Check out those cosmic details! 👽 To top off the activities, the Media Center transformed into an interstellar book fair hosted by Tracy Taylor, Media Coordinator, dressed as Fly Guy. 📚 We appreciate all the families for coming out to show your support for our talented students. A big shout-out to Ms. Su, Ms. Combs, and Ms. Taylor for their hard work in organizing this great event. 💫
