Grady ISD

If you are interested in having your 3rd-8th grader be a part of Grady Jr. FFA please send Mr. Disselhorst their name by Tuesday. If you've sent your student’s name, please resend it so I can double check to make sure I have it. Requirements are: Junior FFA members must be at least eight years old by Dec 1st and in the third grade. There will not be a fee this year for membership

Some of the FFA members were in action today at the Area II LDE contest. The Greenhand Chapter Conducting Team and the Greenhand Creed speaker did a great job!!

Wishing all of our students a great Thanksgiving Break!!!

Our high school Spanish classes had fun making a turkey of their own with all of the things they are thankful for!

Our Floral Design class was at it again! They made these beautiful Fall centerpieces and cornucopia arrangements for staff members!!

Mrs. Cearley was the "winner" of Student Council's turkey fundraiser! She was a great sport and walked the halls rocking her turkey costume!!!

Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grades had a fantastic day at Flying Y Farms! Many of the Pre-K and Kinder kids were super excited about riding a school bus for the first time! DeAnn Yates took the students through her high tunnels and explored all of the gardens. They even got to eat a farm fresh carrot and feed the tops to the chickens! They learned about beneficial bugs and harmful bugs and weeds. Samantha Borgstedt had fresh pumpkin, pecan, and banana bread for the students to sample, as well as pear and peach jams made from homegrown fruit. The students learned about the fresh ingredients used to make the breads! They got to see a cotton plant up close and touch the fiber and seeds. Thank you to Flying Y Farms for hosting this event! We look forward to many more educational field trips with you!

We had an amazing Thanksgiving Meal on Wednesday! Thanks to our cafeteria staff for all of their work preparing the meal, to all of the guests that visited and helped make this a special day for our kids, and our Seniors for serving their fellow students and community!!!
