Breakfast begins at 7:15 am and ends at 7:40 am. The Grandparents' Breakfast will be held in the cafeteria and will feature complimentary pastry, muffins, coffee, and orange juice for grandparents and school breakfast for students.

Grady will receive 10 cents for every Box Top collected and submitted.  Send in Box Tops between now and Sept 28, 2018.

Grady PTA Membership
Thank you to all of the families that have already signed up to join the Grady PTA! You can still sign up/renew your PTA membership online by clicking PTA Membership. Membership is only $6 for 1 person or $10 for 2 people. High membership allows us to participate in PTA programs such as Reflections Art. Signing up for the PTA does not commit you to any volunteering (although we always love having our families volunteer at the school!)
