Feed Gilman:
Does your car need one of those cool paw magnets you've seen? All families who donate to the Feed Gilman campaign will receive a paw magnet. Display it proudly knowing you're helping support classroom programs such as author visits, assemblies, reading support materials, writing study units, and much more that would otherwise go unfunded. Gilman is our school mascot and he's a bear hungry for a great education! Look for the bright green flyer in your back to school packet, or download it from the PTSA web site atwww.grandridgeptsa.org
