Jump Rope For Heart Results: Heart Education and $7,046 Raised!

Jump Rope for Heart at Grady Elementary was a huge success.  Students also learned about heart health and had a wonderful time jumping rope, bouncing in the bounce house, jumping hurdles and playing with hula hoops during the event.  Plus, through fundraising, Grady Elementary raised $7,046.48 during Jump Rope For Heart!  Thank you, students, teachers and parents for participating in this great event. 

Grady Earns Another "A" Grade, Students Excel

Grady has again earned an “A” from the Florida Department of Education for the 2014-15 school year.

Grady’s “A” grade was based upon our students’ performance on the Florida Standards Assessment (“FSA”).

Grady ranked 15th for total points earned on the FSA, out of over 140 Hillsborough County elementary schools. Grady tied for 10th highest in the county for Math, tied for 16th highest in the county for Reading and scored 14th in the county for Science.

This is a wonderful achievement for Grady students, teachers, administrators and parents. The students at our school are excelling at the curriculum. Grady Elementary is fulfilling its vision of preparing students for life.

A hearty Congratulations to all of us for making this happen!

Tiger Talk Update: Mom's Night Out, Box Tops and JRFH

Grady Moms, please come to the Grady Mom’s Night Out on next Thursday, February 25, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, at Carmel Kitchen, located at 3601 Swann Ave. (corner of Himes and Swann).  Our last Mom’s Night Out was a huge success (see pictures here: Mom's Night Out Photos).  Many moms set up playdates, went to the movies and fostered new friendships as a result of this event.  So, please come out and enjoy a nice evening.  There will be $5 drink specials, happy hour specials until 7 pm and $5 sharable plates (calamari and shrimp, multiple types of flatbreads, chickpea fries, and more), so it’s going to be a very economical evening too.  Please reply to this email to RSVP (it is not necessary to RSVP, but it does help us with planning) and click here Mom's Night Out Details to learn more about the event.  We hope to see you there.

Grady’s Box Top Competition ends next Wednesday, February 24, 2016.  Please keep sending in your Box Tops. The top 6 contributors (a student, teacher or staffer) who turn in the highest amount of box tops will win gift cards to local establishments like Outback, Smoothie King, and Eats American Grill.  To learn how to clip and submit Box Tops, please click here: Box Tops Information.

Jump Rope for Heart is coming up next Friday, February 26.  We need volunteers to set up and clean up, and to "turn the rope!"  A link to sign up online to volunteer can be found here: Please Volunteer for JRFH Feb 26.  This event is sponsored by The American Heart Association, and a portion of the money raised will be given back to the Grady Elementary School physical education department. This money will be used for new physical education equipment and programs.
