What a great fall fundraiser we had! With your help we raised more than $6,000.00 for Grady which can now go towards programs to benefit your children. Items purchased during the fundraiser will be available for collection at the Grady Elementary Cafeteria from Wednesday October 14th. thru Friday, October 16th.  The collection times are listed below. We would appreciate if items, particularly perishables (eg. cookie dough, cheesecakes) could be collected as soon as possible to minimise the storage requirements.

Wednesday October 14th: 12.30pm – 6.30pm

Thursday, October 15th: 7.30am – 8.00am & 2.00pm – 6.30pm

Friday, October 16th: 7.30am – 8.00am & 2.00pm – 6.30pm

Our 2015 Fall Festival is right around the corner, Friday, October 23rd, 5:00-7:30 pm.  A flyer was sent home in binders last week, look for information on the activities and advanced purchase of wristbands.  Also, we still need volunteers to work the fall festival.  Please look for information soon, and consider helping make this event an even greater success.

It's spirit week at Fire House Subs!  Each night this week from 4:00-9:00 stop by for dinner at the Hire House Subs on Dale Mabry, across from Plant High School.  Be sure to mention you're with Grady Elementary School.  

A special thanks to all those who attended the Lee Roy Selmon's  Family Night, we earned $116. 

It's Grady Family Week at Firehouse Subs, located at 2227 S Dale Mabry Hwy., Tampa, FL 33629 (just north of Steak 'n Shake). Come in from October 12 to 16 and 10% of your purchase will benefit Grady. Please mention Grady at the register to ensure our school gets credit for your purchase.
Thank you, Tiger Families, for all of your shopping and voting. Your work has resulted in Grady winning the Facebook voting competition (prize of $500.00) and third place in the shopping competition ($1,500.00 prize) through Westshore Plaza's Earning for Learning Competition.  This money will help provide Grady students with after school tutoring.  Thanks again to our families and to Westshore Plaza for operating Earning for Learning.

Grady families and friends, please join us for Grady's Fall Festival on Friday, October 23, from 5 pm until 7:30 pm on campus.  The festival will feature games, free crafts, hair/face painting, two amazing inflatable bouncers (an obstacle course and a regular bounce house), a bake sale, and a crazy photo booth.  Admission to the event is free, but the games are $1/ticket/game.  Wristbands for unlimited games can be purchased in advance via a form that will be sent home from school.  To learn more about how to volunteer, please contact VP of Volunteers, Chely Sierra at [email protected]. To learn more about the event, including how to become a vendor at the event or how to display your product/service at a vendor table, please contact VP of Events, Elizabeth Weekes, at [email protected].
