Giffen Memorial Elementary School
is a neighborhood elementary school that serves
approximately 400 students in grades pre-K-6. Giffen is an exciting place to learn where
children develop their natural gifts and abilities as
they gain confidence in their potential.
We are proud to be able to provide a range of programs
and services to take care of our children's academic
needs as well as provide health and wellness services
on-site. These services include
mobile dental health services through our
partnership with the St. Peter's Hospital and Ronald
McDonald House, and
school-based health services through our partnership
with Whitney M. Young Jr. Health Services, in addition
to mental health and other wellness services on
premises.
