Grant PTA Leadership
Our countless events and activities such as the World Cultures Festival, Fall Festival, Grant Gala, STEAM Expo, Movie Nights, Math Night, Reflections, Gecko Academy, and 5th Grade Activities – and many more, are all 100% parent-volunteer powered. Without the tireless contributions of volunteer parents like you, our community events would not exist. It truly takes a village and we are grateful for our volunteers, who year-by-year come back to share their talents and energy to make our community great.
