Grab and Go Kids Planner: Feb. 16-20
Here are our suggestions for things to do with your family in and around Gilroy.
We'are back with this week's Grab & Go Kids Planner! Glad you are here!
What we aim to do with this is offer you some suggestions for things you can do with your children and even your teens—in town or close by. We want to give you some ideas about what you can do as a family—a performance, a special event, a community happening, an outdoor hike and more. We'll give you suggestions about things to do locally and not too far away.
Here's our five suggestions for this week. Look for the kids’ planner each Wednesday, and help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips—just add them to the comment box. Even if you disagree with our picks, let us know. We want to hear from you!

Why Go: Support Brownell Middle School with this fundraiser. Present the club's invitation (available on the Brownell Middle School website) at the Chili's Restaurant in Gilroy, and you'll enjoy a great meal at a great deal, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit Brownell Middle School programs. This is a fun and easy way to support your student's school and have a delicious dinner out. And at the end of a long holiday weekend, treat yourself and your family to a meal out and support Brownell!
