Grady Moms, please come to the Grady Mom’s Night Out on next Thursday, February 25, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, at Carmel Kitchen, located at 3601 Swann Ave. (corner of Himes and Swann).  Our last Mom’s Night Out was a huge success (see pictures here: Mom's Night Out Photos).  Many moms set up playdates, went to the movies and fostered new friendships as a result of this event.  So, please come out and enjoy a nice evening.  There will be $5 drink specials, happy hour specials until 7 pm and $5 sharable plates (calamari and shrimp, multiple types of flatbreads, chickpea fries, and more), so it’s going to be a very economical evening too.  Please reply to this email to RSVP (it is not necessary to RSVP, but it does help us with planning) and click here Mom's Night Out Details to learn more about the event.  We hope to see you there.

Grady’s Box Top Competition ends next Wednesday, February 24, 2016.  Please keep sending in your Box Tops. The top 6 contributors (a student, teacher or staffer) who turn in the highest amount of box tops will win gift cards to local establishments like Outback, Smoothie King, and Eats American Grill.  To learn how to clip and submit Box Tops, please click here: Box Tops Information.

Jump Rope for Heart is coming up next Friday, February 26.  We need volunteers to set up and clean up, and to "turn the rope!"  A link to sign up online to volunteer can be found here: Please Volunteer for JRFH Feb 26.  This event is sponsored by The American Heart Association, and a portion of the money raised will be given back to the Grady Elementary School physical education department. This money will be used for new physical education equipment and programs.
