August 25th
Dear Glendale Prep Parents,
These are the upcoming events for the week of August 25th:
Restaurant Night: Thank you to so many families and teachers who made our first restaurant night at Paradise Bakery night a huge success! The management told me several times that Glendale Prep has a great group of kids. It was wonderful to see so many families mingling and supporting the school. As the time passed, students could even be found grouped together in the back working together to complete their homework assignments. In the end, the 10th grade tip jar contained the most money by a mere 10 cents! They celebrated today with a cookie party, courtesy of Paradise Bakery, during their lunch time.
Curriculum Night: This Friday, August 28th is Glendale Preparatory Academy’s Curriculum Night for the 2009-2010 school year. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Narthex, where our lunch vendors will be serving samples of our new yummy food options that are available to our students for Hot Lunch. After a brief opening presentation of the educational vision and curriculum of the school, the remainder of the evening will be devoted to you following your child’s schedule and meeting all of their teachers. See you there!
Calendar Reminder: This Friday, August 28th is a full day of school. Next Friday, September 4, is a half day (8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) and also the start of the students’ first “R & R” weekend (rest & relaxation with no homework).
Directory: If you would like to be included in the school directory or have your business advertised with other Glendale Prep businesses, the deadline for turning in the gold directory permission forms and directory advertising forms is Monday, August 31st. Forms are attached to this email and can be found on the website. Please place completed forms in the blue P.O. Box in the main office in the slot marked “All Other Forms.” Advertising checks can be attached, as well as any artwork.
Traffic: Thank you to our very dedicated traffic volunteers! They have been working hard every morning and afternoon to enforce the drop off and pick up procedures set forth by Glendale Prep’s administration. Keep up the great work parents; remember, our kids’ safety is the priority.
Booster Booth: On our next Half Day, Friday, September 4, Dusty Schollmeyer will be selling GP PO booster items on the lawn under the pop up tent. If you would like to pick up some school spirit items, see her there.
Don’t forget to check our website regularly for notices and forms at: http://www.gpapo.org . This site is updated regularly and is a great place to gather information. Copies of all forms can also be found in the school’s main office.
Sincerely,
Kendra Gould
Glendale Prep PO President
