LEAVE A LEGACY WEEK WAS AMAZING!
We have had a fabulous Leave a Legacy Week at Greystone. The students loved dressing up each day.
If you didn't get a chance to donate, you can donate through the PTA Website through the weekend.
The PTA will have the final results for you next week.
Thank you for helping make Greystone Elementary the "GREATEST SCHOOL ON EARTH"!!!

The Be a Champion & Read contest is back! Forms went home this week. If you would like to participate, students will read 6 books on their level. Parents complete the form and return by October 16. Parents can read the books to their kids - that's okay! If you lost your form, click this link for a new one . When you return the form, your child will receive an Alabama or Auburn bookmark and be entered into the state-wide contest for 2 tickets to the Iron Bowl!
