“The griffin, griffon, or gryphon (Greek: γρ?φων, grýphon, or γρ?πων, grýpon, early form γρ?ψ, grýps; Latin: gryphus) is a legendary creature with the body of a LION and the head and wings of an EAGLE. As the lion was traditionally considered the King Of The Beasts and the eagle was the King Of The Birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of the creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions . . . In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.”     from Wikipedia

An eagle is a strong, powerful, proud bird.  It uses its keen senses to help it survive.  It does not look for trouble or danger.  It is generally a symbol of freedom and strength.

A lion is a strong, powerful, proud animal.  It uses its keen senses to help it survive.  Lions live quietly in “prides” working and sharing for the protection and survival of each other.

A griffin is a creature that combines all of these fine traits.

At Glendale Public School, we believe our Griffins are proud, brave, caring, sharing, protective, strong, hard-working team players.  Our Griffins are free and proud individuals that value others at our school, in our community and throughout our world.
