Grant High School Foundation - Second Annual House Parties
APRIL 21 - SAVE THE DATE
APRIL 21 - SAVE THE DATE
Come together to support the Grant High School Foundation. Foundation’s sole mission is to raise money for your favorite charity – your own children’s education! Help fund additional teaching staff to provide smaller class size, fuller schedules, and high quality curriculum choices.
House Parties are the Foundation’s primary fundraiser. House Parties are one evening of many simultaneous parties throughout our community. Last year the 13 House Parties were tremendously fun and successful in raising a majority of Grant Foundation’s $128,000 of donations. To meet this year’s greater need, we will have even more parties and raise even more money.
Mark April 21 on your calendar to join Grant supporters at a House Party . . . details to follow. Or host a House Party and invite your friends to celebrate our outstanding school and raise money for academic excellence for Grant’s 2012-2013 school year

Announcements from the Principal
Grant Community Families,
This past Saturday in the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse, I had the opportunity to observe a group of our senior Constitution Team students demonstrate academic excellence as they presented, defended, and answered detailed questions regarding our US Constitution and the role it has played in our nation’s past and present day political discourse.
