\u2022 Granby Elementary is hosting a virtual science fair. We have students who have submitted scientific method projects, engineering projects and research projects. Many of the students had science fair projects already ready so students have been making videos of their project to post on our science fair website.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Seventh-grader Keaton Fox\u2019s art project assignment was to choose from one of two artists and emulate their work. He picked Andy Goldsworth and had to use natural materials to create a sculpture that was large enough for people to see.<\/p>\n
In his driveway, he created his interpretation of the Maltese Cross symbol for fire departments by using wood and rocks. His inspiration came from his dad, who is a volunteer on Grand Fire Protection District, also known as the Granby Fire Department. <\/p>\n

Trails weaving and turning.
Mountains are big.
Water falling and churning.
Mountains are big.
Sunsets are burning.
Mountains are big
Trees green and growing
Mountains are big
Nature is calling
<\/em>\u2014 Sam Parker<\/p>\n
But is vital to achieving certain goals
Some people remain weary throughout life
Like newborn foals
I\u2019m not saying humility isn\u2019t important
But its place is periodic
If one is to bow down to their peers
Is to surrender their identity
What we determine will make us happy
Is found in the inner voice
Listen or ignore, \u00b4tis your choice
<\/em>\u2014 Owen Grissom<\/p>\n
Sunshine shining down
Brings happiness all around,
Kids playing outside all day
They\u2019ll stay outside till the sky is gray.
Happiness is like a smile
When it comes it stays a while,
Lots of flowers, trees, and bees
When you have this happiness is a breeze.
Happiness is like a sunrise in the morning
It\u2019s also little kids spending the day exploring,
Last but not least happiness is you and me
Spending the day together as free as could be.
<\/em>\u2014 Jessica Dorn<\/p>\n
The nights are getting longer
Our lives are changing
We will soon be at peace in a new place
Wondering why high school had to be a race
Some will be eating Ramen to cure our hunger
Some will do push ups for having hunger
Some will have new friends they hold in a special place
But deep down we\u2019ll all dream we had high school for longer
We\u2019ll all be different but our home will always be here, this is our place
