Let us introduce you to the griffinĀ ā the magical creature that gives our school its name!

A griffinĀ (also spelled gryphon) is a mythical creature. That means it comes from myths, which are old stories told for fun or to explain the world a long time ago.
The griffin is half lionĀ and half eagle:
The bodyĀ of a lion š¦ (strong, brave, powerful)
The head and wingsĀ of an eagle š¦ (smart, fast, watches everything)
Pretty cool, right?
In old stories, griffins were guardians. They protected treasure, knowledge, and even kings! They were known for their wisdomĀ and strength.
