Thank you to all of the families that have already signed up to join the Grady PTA! You can still sign up/renew your PTA membership online by clicking PTA Membership. Membership is only $6 for 1 person or $10 for 2 people. It is important for Grady Elementary to have families sign up for membership so that the PTA has strength in numbers when lobbying for our children. High membership participation also allows us to participate in PTA programs such as Reflections Art. Signing up for the PTA does not commit you to any volunteering (although we always love having our families volunteer at the school!)

Thank you to our new Tiger partners! We very much appreciate your generosity.  The Tiger partnerships help make a difference in our Grady classrooms by funding programs (including the after school tutoring program, teacher mini grants, student programs, music and art programs, and much more), delivering PTA events to our students, teachers and families (including the winter concert, Tiger Tears Breakfast, Storybook Parade and much more), and enhancing our Grady campus through grounds improvement projects. Become a Tiger Partner today! To learn more about Tiger Family and Business Partnerships, please click hereTiger Partnership Program.

Our newest Tiger Family Partners areLeader of the Pack level partner, Drs. Siviero and Heather Agazzi and Red (Bengal) level partners The Gomez Family, The Jacobs Family, The Ledford Family and Fancy Nails. Thank you to all of our Tiger Family Partners!
