We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jenny Emery this past weekend. A former member of the Granby Education Foundation, Jenny served for many years as our Board of Education liaison, supporting our grants process and championing educational innovation.

Jenny loved Granby and gave so much of herself to our community. Her impact will be long remembered, and our hearts are with her family and friends.💜💜

What an incredible night at this year’s Granby Education Foundation Gran-Bee! The energy was amazing — so many laughs, fierce competition, and unforgettable moments with Grant Bee and Baby Bee stealing the show.

We are beyond proud of our high school National Honor Society team, Buzz Bruzz, for taking down the multi-year reigning champs, the Holcomb Tree Bees, in an exciting championship round!

Thanks to everyone who came out, bid on auction prizes, and supported the cause. Together, we raised significant funds to fuel even more education and innovation grants for our schools and community.

Your generosity and spirit keep the buzz alive — we can’t wait to see the impact we’ll make together!
