Shamrock News
A Weekly Look at Grant Elementary School & the Grant PTA
PTA Meeting - Everyone Welcome! September 20th at 6:00 pm-Meet School Board Candidates!
Please consider coming to the next Grant PTA Association Meeting. You can vote on the issues before the group if you are a member (forms are in the office and it's $20 for one person and $35 for two) but even if you are not a member you can still come and learn about all the things happening at Grant. It's a great way to stay informed and get involved.
*Plus, all of the candidates running for Petaluma City School Board are invited and some are planning to come. It'll be a great chance to see what their goals are for our schools. See you at the meeting!
