PTA Updates

Thank you to all of our families that have been posting photos and videos on our Grady Elementary PTA Facebook Page. We've enjoyed seeing our students! Today is our Workout Wednesday, so share photos of your students biking, wheeling, walking or exercising in the event discussion. Please note that the Grady PTA Facebook page is a public page and any photos or comments will be public.

Please note that the Grab-and-Go program has been changed to weekly food distribution. Beginning April 15th, students will be provided with one week's worth of food at a time. Pickup will be on Wednesdays between 9 am and 1 pm. Please click on Grab-and-Go Update for more details.
