Dear Intermediate School Families,

Our glow run was even more fun than last year’s, and working with Booster, along with  Katie and Kate, our PTO chairs was more fun than work!  We exceeded our goal!  Thank you to all you contributed in any way–big or small!  Next year our run will be in the fall and outside.

The GRAIS staff would also like to thank all who contributed to the beautiful sweets-and-treats buffet on Monday, with special gratitude to Katie and Kate for organizing and setting up the event.
