Thank you for a fantastic flower day! So far, Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week has been a wonderful success. We started with Monday Breakfast (see a picture of the breakfast display here: Picture), today was flower day and tomorrow is Hats Off To Teachers and Staff. Please have students wear hats to school and consider giving teachers and staff gifts to show appreciation. If you don’t know what kind of gift card or gift your child’s teacher would like, please review teacher profiles here: Teachers; Administration here: Administration; and Specialists here: Specialists.
In addition to the individual teacher gifts given by students directly to their teachers, there will also be a drawing on the Morning Show, for prizes of gift cards and gift items. Thank you to everyone who has donated gift cards and gift items thus far. To donate gift cards and gift items for the Wednesday give-away, please drop them in the front office before 8 am on Wednesday. Please attach a note with your or your child’s name if you’d like it announced on the Morning Show.

Coming up is Grady’s Spring Musical. Grady Elementary PTA has lined up some spectacular raffle baskets and silent auction items for the Spring Musical. To see the items, click here: Baskets and Silent Auction Items.
You can join in the raffle and silent auction even if you don’t plan to attend the Spring Musical. You can buy raffle tickets (1 for $1 or 7 tickets for $5) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (May 11-13) in front of school.
On Wednesday, May 13, we will not only sell raffle tickets, but we will display the baskets that are the raffle prizes (together with boxes for you deposit raffle tickets in), and we will display the silent auction items for viewing and bidding. We will serve free coffee and pastries, too. It should be a lovely morning for a raffle and silent auction get-together.
The winning raffle tickets will be drawn after the Spring Musical, but you need not be present to win, but please place contact information on the back of your raffle ticket! We will contact all winners of raffled and silent auction items, so feel free to buy tickets even if you are not planning to attend the Spring Musical.
