We observed Red Day, took our hats off to drugs, turned our backs to drugs, slipped away from drugs, banned drugs, and said boo to drugs.  Take a look at the gallery for great pictures!     VIEW THE GALLERY

VIRGIL I. GRISSOM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GETS SCIENTIFIC! THERE WAS FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!  V.I.G. does it again! Family Math Science and Technology Night was a great success!  Cadets were able to bring the whole family to school and enjoy a night of learning mathematical strategies in a fun , no-pressure environment that can be applied later in class as well as in test-taking situations.  Students and their parents and sibling used measuring strategies and learned the properties of matter while making ice cream,  participated in a sink-and-float demonstration, and utilized technology stations.  This event was a collaborative effort supported by The Children's Museum of Houston.  VIEW THE GALLERY
