Thank you very much to all of you who came to Fall Festival on Friday.  Thank you very much to the many volunteers who ran the festival booths, made snow cones, bagged popcorn, managed the bounce houses and did so many wonderful things to make Fall Festival run smoothly for our kids.  It was a very special evening and a great chance for Grady families to get to know one another.   To see some pictures of the Fall Festival, please click here:  Fall Festival Pictures.
