Grant Cares
Our Grant Community Cares Team is mindful that some of our own Grant families could use some holiday cheer and assistance. The Grant “Giving Tree” is in the office now through 12/19. Please consider donating by taking an ornament/item needed. Return the item (ornament attached) to the basket in the office by 12/19. Thank you for bringing holiday joy to our Grant community!

Holiday Gift Shoppe 12/12, 13 & 14 & We Could Really Use Your Help!
The Grant Holiday Gift Shoppe will be open for business Wednesday, December 12th through Friday, December 14th.
