Learn2Earn Donations This is the last week to fulfill the pledges/donations you made to students during our Learn2Earn Read-a-Thon Fundraiser.  We are still waiting on approximately $400 to be submitted. Please remind friends and family that December 3rd is the last day to send in their donations. Donations may still be submitted by anyone with an invitation from a student and amounts can be adjusted both up and down.  Please check your email for something from Learn2Earn to submit online or send in cash or check to the PTO as soon as possible. When everything is accounted for we can award prizes! Popcorn Friday Friday, December 4th, popcorn will be sold during afternoon recess. Remember to send 50¢ to school. Please send the exact change, it will help the process move faster and give students more time to enjoy their popcorn. Money raised will support Glenridge programs. Tie Your Shoes! Untied shoes are dangerous when you are running around having fun! Teach your kids to tie their own shoelaces!
