Celebration Of The World (COTW) is an event that celebrates the Graded Community's diversity, with a variety of cuisine and cultural showcases from around the world.
In collaboration with Graded's Administration, the PTA organizes enrichment lectures, workshops, and events to educate the Graded adult community on how to better support students' academic and emotional development. These events are advertised in the PTA newsletter and added to the school calendar.

The PTA holds a General Meeting for all parents once a semester. The previous semester's PTA activities are reported on, and upcoming events are announced. At the end of the school year, nominees for the following school year's PTA board are presented and voted on.
The PTA always welcomes new volunteers, whether to participate in an event committee or to support one of the school-wide celebrations. If you are interested, please email us at pta@graded.br. We also encourage parents to volunteer in the Library and Optimal Learning Services (OLS).
