Yearbook - and make it "snappy"!
Do you like snapping pictures? The yearbook is under way and we need your photos! We’d love to include any photos you may have taken; they may be specific to an event (book swap, Reflections, etc.), or just candid snapshots from the playground or class time.
Photos must be:
· Grand Ridge students only during Grand Ridge-related activities (please no birthday parties, scouts, etc.)
· Clearly-labeled with the event and/or grade level of children in photos.
· Send your highest resolution (file size) image possible. You may submit a CD if you have a large number of images.
All submissions may not be included in the yearbook.
Email photos to GRyearbook@gmail.com

Thank you so much for being a part of the Grand Ridge 2011-2012 yearbook!
Grand Thank You!
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped contribute their efforts to putting on a spectacular event! We are tallying the totals from Silent Auction, Live Auction, Classroom Auction and raffle sales - we will report on those shortly. Stay tuned! The money raised will pay for music equipment, additional science labs, art materials, The Arts, as well as the continued support of current PTSA funded programs such as the art docent program, Science Fair, scholarships, and more over the next 2 years. Thank you!

These events were no small endeavor. The PTSA thanks the over 100 Grand Ridge parents, 35 parents from Sunset, Newcastle, Issaquah Valley, Cougar Ridge, and 10 Issaquah High School students that made this auction not only a reality but a success.

The Grand Ridge PTSA also thanks all the parents and community members that participated in buying tickets and or bidding in the auctions.
