Gridley’s Book Fair begins this Friday, January 27th through Friday, February 3rd and it will be open from 7:30am to 3:30pm every day. Another great way to support Gridley is to buy books!  We also need your help in order to keep it open for students and parents!  We are looking for help in the mornings from 7:30am to 9:30am. If you can volunteer (even 30 minutes) we would greatly appreciate it.  Please contact Aimee Bardaiu at 396-0578 if you can help!  Thanks!
 
Join us for skate night at Skate Country this Thursday, January 26th from 6pm to 8pm.  We need at least 70 skaters in order to receive $$ back from Skate Country so please join us and help us raise funds for Gridley!

What's Happening At Gridley 
 
  
 Mark your calendar for Thursday, April 26th for Gridley’s annual Family BBQ.  This is a fun event for the entire family and it is FREE!  We need parent volunteers to help run this event.  There will be a brief volunteer meeting on Thursday, February 2nd at 6pm right before the PTSA meeting.  If you can help out in anyway, please attend this brief meeting.  If you need more information, please email gridleyptsa@gmail.com
 
Mark your calendar for our next PTSA meeting on Thursday, February 2nd at 6pm in the library.  We will start off with a meeting regarding the Family BBQ and then move into the PTSA meeting.
 
 As you can see, in order to pull off the events that happen at Gridley, we need A LOT of volunteers!  As we work towards the end of this school year, if you can help in any of the upcoming events, please email the PTSA at gridleyptsa@gmail.com and let us know.  We cannot pull these events off without your help!
