Tiger Trek Results

February 4, 2015

Thank you to all of the teachers, parents and students who made Tiger Trek a smashing success.  The kids enjoyed the beautiful weather, walked many laps and enjoyed giveaway items from the Tiger Trek sponsors. Tiger Trek made over $18,000.00 for Grady Elementary PTA.  This is a huge boost to our school and ensures that the enrichment programs, book programs and beautification programs that Grady Elementary PTA sponsors will all continue.  All of this money will be spent on enhancing the educational experience at Grady Elementary.  So, thank you very much! 

Thank you very much to all of you who volunteered for Tiger Trek.  It was your help that made the event fun and well organized.  We hope that the online volunteer registration service made it easy for you to sign up and participate in Tiger Trek.

The Tiger Trek individual winners and amounts raised are:  First Place:  Drew Bresnahan ($610.00); Second Place:  Daniel Kumm ($500.00); Third Place:  Kennedy Gilbert ($475.00); and Fourth Place:  Sydney Jackson ($300.00).  Congratulations, Drew, Daniel, Kennedy, and Sydney!
