Announcements *****************
***The Grady administration will be housed in trailer #2 for the
summer. There are signs identifying it. The main phone number,
404.853.4000 will be operational.
***Interested in what goes on at Grady? Want to be in the know? Then
get involved with the PTSA. That's what I did. I came to the monthly
board meetings, I volunteered for a committee chair position (Teacher
appreciation my first year and Secretary my second). I got involved,
stayed informed and got to know Grady!
Now I am the PTSA President! Getting involved helped me to know my
child's teachers, the principal (ask Dr Murray), staff, and the members of
the PTSA. So get involved! It's the only way to be informed.
The Grady PTSA is looking for a few good parents to fill the following
>committee chair positions:
- Bylaws/Parliamentarian
- Communications: Calendar( to compile dates from staff / PTSA etc.)
- Knights Lights (Grady newsletter) Editor/Layout Distribution
- Fundraising: Volunteer Coordinator
If you are interested in helping out or would like more information,
please contact Jane Modica, Grady PTSA President, at 404-876-2152 or
jmodica@bellsouth.net
Being involved = being informed.
Thanks,
Jane Modica
