The Winter Concert starts tomorrow night at 6 pm.  There will be a short PTA general meeting at 5:45 pm under the Pavilion.  At the meeting, we will ratify the gifting of the perimeter fence to the school and establish a $10,000.00 budget to pay for upgraded technology at the school.

The Tropicana Speech Contest was held for the 4th and 5th grade students with 4th grade student Faith House placing 1st, Maggie Warren 2nd, and Ava Green 3rd place.  In 5th grade, Taylor Hammond received 1st place, Alex Chagin was 2nd, and Landon Roberts earned 3rd place honors. 

The 2nd annual Spelling Bee was held this morning at Grady Elementary School.  Emily Azevedo correctly spelled the word "Sanskrit" to take the first place trophy, followed by Daniel Kumm in 2nd place, and Nicole Sapienza in 3rd.  To see pictures of today’s Spelling Bee, click here:  Spelling Bee Pictures.  Parents who took pictures, please email them to [email protected] to have them added to our photo gallery on the website.
