PTO Update 1-29-17

A big THANK YOU to the Kent Ivar's for hosting Glenridge Teacher Night, Beth Hillberry for organizing the event, and another big THANK YOU to the staff who put in extra time and all the families that came out and had a great dinner. It was wonderful to see everyone supporting our students!

Popcorn Friday Friday, February 3rd popcorn will be sold during afternoon recess. Remember to send 50¢ to school. Sending the exact change will help the process move faster and give students more time to enjoy their popcorn. Money raised will support Glenridge programs. Drama Rehearsals Drama Rehearsals on February 2nd, 7th, and 9th at 3:50 - 5:30 are for the full cast. Please make sure students bring their script, a pencil, water, and have a ride home.

We welcome everybody, the PTO is for all parents and guardians.  Scholastic Book Fair Through the book fair Glenridge earns scholastic dollars that pay for new books in our library, important subscriptions and reading programs for our students, and gives families access to reasonably priced books. Right now we are in need of volunteers for a new coordinator and all book fair shifts, if they can't be filled changes will have to be made which will result in the loss of books and programs at Glenridge.  Help us keep reading strong at Glenridge! Any amount of time would be helpful. To help contact the PTO or Sue Crissey in the Glenridge Library at 253-373-2488. Book Fair Coordinator Needed Please consider becoming our Book Fair Coordinator. Our current coordinator has put in a remarkable 10 years and it's time for her to pass on the job, taking on this position now will give you a chance to learn from a seasoned veteran.
