Welcome to Giffen Memorial Elementary School!

Giffen Memorial Elementary School is an exciting learning place where young people develop their natural gifts and abilities as they gain confidence in their potential.  Students grow to become well-adjusted, independent thinkers as they
explore their intelligences; they realize the satisfaction of productive teamwork as they collaborate with others from a variety of racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds.  Stimulating
activity integrates themes and basic content, resulting in higher scholastic achievement for all.  Children are
empowered to become strong, responsible citizens through the dedicated efforts of caring and competent staff, involved parents and supportive community organizations.

"I have your back, you have mine.  Together, we are...respectful, responsible,
  and kind"....WE ARE GIFFEN!
