We are celebrating National 4th Grader Day today, Monday, January 12, 2026. We have specific activities in each class that promotes and praises Grand View's 4th Grade. Every 4th grade student and teacher will dress to "Step into Success in 2026".
Parents/Guardians please spend some time with your 4th grader to celebrate their last year of elementary school. Here are a few ideas:
Spend some time discussing the article they read about National 4th Grader Day
Reflect with your child how far they have come in the school year
Celebrate with a treat after school
Let your child choose what is for dinner, showcasing his/her decision making skills
Set an achievable academic goal for the end of the 2025-2026 school year
We are looking forward to everyone's participation. Thank you for sharing your child with us this year in encouraging successful, independent citizens.
