Congratulations to Grady’s First Grade Teaching Team and Students! Grady Elementary first grade students scored the highest of all students in Hillsborough County Public Schools in both the reading and the math portions of the Stanford Achievement Test, Tenth Edition.
Come one, come all to the Spring Book which starts Tuesday May 20th and ends May 27th. We have a wide variety of books and resources available.
There's something for everyone at this years book fair. Our goal is to raise $6,755 which will help our media center purchase more books.
To learn more visit our Scholastic page.
This summer elementary school students will FIZZ, BOOM, READ by reading in myOn Reader, axis360 ebooks, and books from the Public Library. Students can enter the myON Summer Reading Challenge to win weekly prizes or even the grand prize, a mini-ipad.

On May 13, 2014, Grady Principal, Kristine Dosal, was awarded the Hillsborough County PTA Elementary School Principal of the Year Award for 2013-2014. In addition to having our school win the Principal of the Year Award, Grady Elementary PTA won the following awards: Volunteer Hours Award, Grandparent Gold Membership Award, Golden Participation Award and Golden Early Bird Award.

We would like to show our appreciation for our teachers and staff by taking them to "Hollywood." We have several events planned to honor our teachers and staff and we would like you and your child’s help to make it unforgettable. Also, please don't forget the front office, custodial and cafeteria teams.
We have excellent news. We have developed a new non-peel car magnet with Grady’s new logo and website name. The magnets are 4 inches by 6 inches and oval. They are guaranteed not to peel by Teamwork Imprinted Sportswear (they are a silkscreen, painted-on magnet as opposed to a sticker on top of a magnet).
LegoLand has extended their $30/person pricing for PTA members through the end of 2014. All you need to do is click the link and pick the day you want to go.
