Bridging Generations Through the Art of Letter Writing! 📝✉️❤️

For the past two years, Ms. Jones’s 5th-grade class at Monte Cristo Elementary has taken part in a truly magical partnership with the wonderful residents and staff over at GenCare Granite Falls!

Throughout the school year, these students have been mastering the art of traditional letter writing and learning how to spark meaningful conversations across generations. After eagerly exchanging letters back and forth for months, the big moment finally arrived this week—our 5th graders walked over to the care center to meet their pen pals face-to-face!

What a beautiful way to connect our local youth to the broader community while proving that friendship and great communication have no age limit. Both our students and the GenCare residents walked away with hearts full of joy and a school year chalked full of unforgettable memories!

Watch as our incredible Class of 2026 transforms right before our eyes—from Kindergarten to the official graduating Class of 2026! 😭❤️

It feels like just yesterday they were carrying backpacks bigger than they were, and now they are officially Granite Falls Alumni. We are still riding high on the graduation excitement and are so incredibly proud of the places these Tigers have already been, and the amazing places they will go next.

STEAM Night at Mountain Way Elementary🚀

Thank you to all of our incredible families who joined us for STEAM Family Night at Mountain Way Elementary! Our hallways were buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and a whole lot of energy.

From future engineers to emerging artists, it was amazing to see our students dive hands-on into science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
Here are a few highlights from the night:

🚀 To Infinity and Beyond: We had a blast building and launching custom rockets. Watching them take flight was absolutely thrilling!

💡 Imagine Children's Museum: A massive shoutout to our friends from the Imagine Children's Museum! Their interactive activities were a huge hit and kept everyone thinking outside the box.

🔬 And So Much More: Between the hands-on experiments, creative art stations, and mind-bending math games, there was never a dull moment.

We are so proud of our Mountain Way innovators.Thank you to our STEAM & CTE staff for making all this happen for our students!

Sources of Strength at Granite Falls High School! 🧡

We have some incredibly exciting work launching behind the scenes this week! Yesterday and today, a dedicated team of staff and students gathered in the Granite Falls High School library for our official Sources of Strength training sessions.

Led by our fantastic trainer, Sia, our team jumped into interactive activities designed to build connections, empower student leaders, and foster a positive, resilient culture across our school community. ✨

What is Sources of Strength?
Sources of Strength is a premier wellness and su***de prevention program that moves beyond traditional peer-to-peer models. It focuses on training Peer Leaders (our amazing students) and Adult Advisors (our dedicated staff) to map out strengths and resources, proving that we are all stronger when we work together!

Happy Monday! We can’t believe it’s already June and graduation week is finally upon us!

Even though the school year is wrapping up, we are not slowing down on showcasing the amazing humans who make our district so special. You might have seen her name just last week as one of our 4th Quarter Bridge Builder Award winners—because she is an absolute rockstar—but for this week’s Faces of Granite Falls, we are officially showcasing Molly Alldredge!

🍎 Spotlight: Molly Alldredge

🐅 What do you enjoy most about your job or working with students and staff in Granite Falls?
“This is my 3rd year in Granite Falls School District as a Speech and Language Pathologist. I get to evaluate students' communication and create personalized plans to support them in school. My favorite work days are the ones spent building communication with students/families and learning new skills with the many teams I get to work with.”

🐅Share a favorite memory or moment from your time working in Granite Falls.
“The day I got to step in and be a substitute teacher for one of my favorite people. I got to be with students the entire day, learning together through play and coaching kiddos through conflicts. That day changed my perspective and reminded me I needed to figure out how to be with students and coworkers as much as possible.”

🐅If you could describe Granite Falls in one word, what would it be — and why? “Connected - Because it’s full of strong people that care.”
