Congrats to all the players and a big thanks to Mr. Boling for organizing this and Ms. Garcia for taking our kids to compete at State.

Annual Griffin Gala, Friday, March 24th, 7:00 PM -10:00 PM, Norris Center - 816 Town & Country Blvd., Houston, TX 77024

Mark your calendars for Aristoi's Annual Griffin Gala on Friday, March 24th! It was a huge success last year and we hope for the same this year!

Imagine an evening dressing up and spending adults-only time visiting with old friends and making new ones over dinner and drinks. Time like that is so rare as our children are growing. What a gift to have while doing something so important for their education and their future! And, this year there will be coffee and dessert to enjoy together, too!

Protect Young Eyes Presentations

The Digital Culture of Kids: Building a Framework of Trust, January 24th (adults, parents and ages 14+), Griffin Center & January 25th (for students during school)

Aristoi's Counseling Department invites and encourages all adults and parents to participate in this free event on January 24th at the Griffin Center from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM.

Protect Young Eyes has discovered that parental controls alone don't work and instead, there are five traits that often determine digital success in many families. During the evening, we will answer: What is Digital Trust? Do you have it? How does it apply to conversations about social media? Pornography? YouTube? TikTok?

PYE's fast-paced talk will use stories, simple examples, and quick tips that will provide your family with immediate action to take to protect themselves and each other.

On January 25th, grade appropriate presentations will be made to Aristoi students. If you do not want your student to participate in the presentations on January 25th, please click on the button below,

Please contact Mrs. Lynn Cummins for more information.
