🏈 A big thank you to the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation for sponsoring the Junior Captain at last week's CHHS football game. Bransford Elementary School first grader Declan Kamerman did an amazing job bringing out the game ball and walking with the captains for the coin toss. 🏈
📣 College Colors Day and AVID Day are both on Friday, August 30, and we invite the GCISD community to wear their favorite college gear! 📣
This annual celebration promotes college readiness and the spirit that embodies the college experience. Use #WeAreGCISD and tag GCISD to show your college pride. AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a college and career readiness system and elective course offered in all GCISD middle schools, Colleyville Heritage High School and Grapevine High School.
Over the summer, the Bransford Elementary staff room got a makeover thanks to the school’s Dad’s Club. The Bransford dads, families and local businesses pitched in to transform this room into a beautiful and comfortable space. Thank you to our GCISD Dad’s Clubs for all they do to support our campuses! #WeAreGCISD
