Help us make this breakfast even more yummy, a financial contribution will help to purchase an assortment of breakfast meats (bacon and sausage), please make out checks to Glenridge PTO and write “Holiday Breakfast” on your envelope and leave them at the school office.

We would love your involvement. Any other suggestion of how we can make this a bigger and better occasion is welcome! Send all offers of help and suggestions to glenridgepto@gmail.com.
