Our annual Halloween Parades were a hit! From Dalmatians and princesses to the entire Avengers team, we had it all! Storybook characters truly came to life as students showed off their favorite books and matching looks. A huge congratulations to our 1st Grade Team, who won the student vote for best staff costumes with the Rainbow Magic Fairy Books! Thank you to everyone who made the day so special!
A massive THANK YOU to all of our amazing Granby elementary families, friends, and supporters for cheering on our students in this year's Fun Run! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we didn't just meet our $15,000 goal—we completely crushed it, raising a grand total of $21,365 to be used to support classrooms and teachers and provide enrichment opportunities from field trips to author visits!
This truly was a global effort: we received support from 33 states and 3 countries! Outside of raising funds for our school, our students had an absolute blast. They spent the past few weeks learning about cuisines around the world, earning fun prizes, and capping it all off with an unforgettable Fun Run complete with a live DJ and exciting course challenges!
We are so proud of our students and so grateful for this amazing community. Thank you for making this event such a huge success!

Mrs. Fitzsimonds’ second graders have been busy exploring new learning experiences and growing together! One of our favorite parts of the school day is soft start and free choice, where students build friendships, use their imaginations, and learn through play. The pretend campfire has been a classroom favorite! We’ve also been putting on our scientist hats during a fun science experiment and learning important lessons about staying safe during Fire Safety Day, which was a definite highlight. Our days are filled with curiosity, creativity, teamwork, and exciting opportunities to learn and grow together!

We’re excited for all the learning, growing, and fun ahead!
What an incredible first week at Kelly Lane! Preschool filled the hallways with favorite songs and new routines, while kindergarten jumped right into hands-on fine motor skill practice. First graders were already showing off their reading superpowers with new words, and second grade hit the ground running straight into math. Over in Unified Arts, students wrapped up their second class by mastering warm-ups, learning new songs, and diving into fun new games. It’s been an amazing start, and we couldn't be prouder of our learners!
The students in Mrs. Sessions’ first-grade class officially filled their Kelly Lane Cares Bucket! 🪣✨ These hard workers have been doing an amazing job taking care of themselves, each other, and our school.
