THANKSGIVING BASKETS WERE ASSEMBLED by buddy groups to donate to the food shelf at Putney Family Services.
The baskets were decorated with ribbons and handmade gift cards.
Bahman & the 7th grade guitar players enjoyed jamming together during Studio.
Many of you have seen the wonderful photographs of Grammar School students taken by TGS parent Rachel Aho that line the hallway outside of Tammy's office. Families that give to the Annual Fund for the first time this year, or increase the amount of their gift from last year, will receive one of these portraits by Rachel Aho as a thank you.
The Annual Fund is off to a great start. Thank you to all who have already given this year. As you know the Annual Fund supports every family by bridging the gap between tuition and the full cost of educating our students. Scholarships, visiting artists, new stairs, professional development for teachers, educational equipment all rely on the Annual Fund.
Please give to the Annual Fund by returning your gift envelope, giving on-line or bringing it by The Grammar School on your next visit.
Thank You For Your Support
Sincerely,
The Annual Fund Committee

There is one outside the main office and one outside the art room. We could use any interesting items smaller than a baseball. Items could include: small toys, marbles, Legos, metal parts, wooden spools, tiles, buttons, wood scraps, etc....
