Granbery PTA

This page is one of the most important things we share all year because we want families to truly understand just how much the PTA helps support Granbery.

Every dollar raised throughout the school year goes right back into our students, teachers, staff, programs, events, classrooms, and school community. We are required to spend the funds we raise within that school year, and those funds are constantly being put to work through direct requests from teachers and staff, school needs, student programs, volunteer efforts, communication support, and so much more.

Behind all of this is a small group of working parents doing our best to help create an elementary school experience our kids will remember forever — while also helping make Granbery a place where teachers and staff feel supported, appreciated, and excited to work.

The PTA is here to help. Truly.

We spend countless volunteer hours planning events, supporting classrooms, coordinating communication, organizing programs, helping staff, fundraising, solving problems, and trying to make sure our school community feels connected and supported.

If you have ideas, requests, questions, or constructive feedback, please reach out. We genuinely want to hear from you.

You are also always welcome at our monthly PTA meetings — even if you just want to listen and stay informed about what is happening at your child’s school. Meeting minutes are always available on our website because we want families to feel informed and involved.

We also have BIG ideas for next year, including improvements to our website and finding more ways to connect the Nippers Corner business community with Granbery Elementary. If you own a business, work somewhere that may want to partner with us, or know someone who would love supporting local schools, we would love to connect.
Every sponsorship, donation, volunteer hour, shared post, or helping hand directly impacts our students.

And honestly — our team is a bunch of rockstars, and we’re always having fun doing this work together!

Thank you for supporting our geckos, our teachers, our staff, and our school community. We could not do any of this without you.

We’re so grateful to the teachers who organized this morning’s volunteer brunch—a thoughtful way to recognize the many families who give their time to support our school.
