This Week at Glendale Prep: January 11, 2010

Congratulations and Welcome: We are excited to announce the newest member of the Glendale Prep PO Executive Committee, our new Secretary, Lisa King. However, there is still one more vacancy on the EC. If you would like to join us as the Vice President, please contact me at President@glendalepreppo.org.

Thank you from the GP Staff: I have received many positive comments and words of appreciation from the teachers and staff and would like to pass them on to all the parents who volunteered your time and cooking abilities for the December Teacher Appreciation dinner. Prior to the Winter Concert, our faculty and their spouses were invited to come and dine in a classroom that was transformed into a festive candle-lit wonderland. They feasted on traditional fare and then attended the wonderful program provided by the students. Thank you to the Teacher Appreciation Committee and several students who volunteered to serve and clean up. It was a memorable evening.

Booster Item of the Month: This month’s featured item is the 32oz Stadium cup. This cup normally sells for $3.00. This month you can purchase yours for just $2.00. You can see one displayed in the front office.

Hot Lunches: Remember, if you ordered lunches during our last round prior to Winter Break, your order goes through January 15th.

Thank you: If you get a chance, take a moment to say thank you to all the parents who volunteer to keep traffic flowing and our classrooms set up and ready to go in the morning. These parents are the reason your kids have teachers available to them for tutoring, mentoring and just hanging out. Thank you parents, you are awesome.

Tax Credit Program: Thank you for your active participation in this program. Not only did we meet our goal of $50,000 but exceeded by $2,393. Thank you to all the parents who made phone calls, asked neighbors, friends and family and got the word out. We couldn’t have done this alone. Way to go!
