🐾 Meet Beasley, Grant Early Elementary’s amazing facility dog! 🐾
We are so grateful for the incredible impact Beasley has already made in our school and in the lives of our students. 💙
A huge thank you to @Newaygo Public Schools for hosting us to celebrate, and to @Maranda from WOOD TV for coming out to showcase Beasley and the wonderful work happening at Grant Early Elementary!
We also want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to @Priority Health, @Corewell Health, and the @Gerber Foundation for funding our school dog, and to @Canines for Change for providing Beasley’s training. We are so grateful for your support!
Beasley has quickly become a special part of our school family. She helps greet students each morning, giving them an extra reason to smile and get excited about coming through our doors. 🐶❤️
She also helps motivate students to remain in their general education classrooms by earning breaks to spend time playing with Beasley. When students need a little extra support, Beasley visits them in the nurse’s station and Ready Room, where her calming presence helps students re-regulate and get ready to return to learning.
Beasley may have four paws, but she is making a BIG difference in our school! 🐾💙
We are so thankful for everyone who helped bring Beasley to Grant Early Elementary and for all the ways she supports our students each and every day!

Grant Public Schools has officially copyrighted our Tiger logos. That means the paw and "GT" marks are now protected, and any commercial use — T-shirts, signs, giveaways, or anything sold or used to promote a business, product, or cause — needs written permission from the district first.
This isn't about saying no. It's about keeping our logo accurate, consistent, and truly ours, with the same simple process for everyone.
Planning something with a Grant logo? We'd love to help you do it the right way — just give the Administration Building a call at (231) 834-5621.
