Glengary Monarch Butterfly Garden - Volunteers Needed 11/19
Did you know the monarch butterfly is on the endangered species list? Threats to their natural habitat and food sources are making it more difficult for them to survive, so we are building a Monarch Butterfly Garden at Glengary!
The garden area is prepped and ready for its inaugural planting! We are looking for interested families to volunteer their time to plant milkweed and pollinator plants, which will create shelter and food for the butterflies, on Saturday, November 19 from 10 am. - 12 p.m.
Special thanks to parent Rachel Gribas for designing the garden space!
If you’re interested in volunteering in the first garden planting, use the Sign Up Genius link below. Email parent, Miesha Joassin, (miesha.joassin@gmail.com) with any questions. Thank you!
Glengary's hearts are growing this holiday season
https://www.smore.com/mnzha-glengary-giving-tree
Glengary Elementary, in partnership with the Glengary PTA, is proud to again help several local families for the 22-23 holiday season.
Each year, the Glengary Community shows an overwhelming desire to support families that may need a little extra support during the holiday season. We are so grateful for your support and partnership! Below you will find links to 15 families that we are supporting this Holiday Season. If you are able to help in any way, please click on any of the links below to see which gifts are needed.
· Gift Drop off will take place on Tuesday, December 13 from 9:10 am- 10:30 am. We also have an evening drop off on Wednesday, December 14 from 4:10 pm -6:30 pm. Finally, families may also drop off gift items during the Glengary Helping Hands Event on Friday, December 16 from 6:00-8:00 pm.
· Drop off will be in the front bus loop. You will pull up in front of the main door and a volunteer will be there to take your donation.
· It is very important that you attach a note to your gift that tells the Family Number, Gender and Age. Please do not wrap the gifts.
Thank you for your consideration in our efforts to make this a wonderful holiday season for every family. Questions can be emailed to andreahalimi03@gmail.com. Thank you!
Have you captured a memory that we all need to remember?
Please start sending your favorite pictures from our events - like the first day of school, homecoming, the Fun Run, the Trunk or Treat, etc, to our yearbook committee!
In years past, yearbooks have been given to all students at no cost to families. These books were provided by Lifetouch, the company contracted to provide school pictures. Unfortunately, due to a significant decline in families purchasing individual student pictures, Lifetouch can no longer offer yearbooks at no charge. Therefore, yearbooks must be ordered ahead of time for a student to receive one at the end of the school year. Ordering a yearbook is simple and can be done by simply clicking on the link below! The cost is $6 per yearbook with options for additional features if desired. Orders are due by April 10, 2023! Thanks for ordering a Glengary yearbook!

Thank you for reading this far - keep going!
Put your business front and center with a yearbook ad!
In years past, yearbooks have been given to all students at no cost to families. These books were provided by Lifetouch, the company contracted to provide school pictures. Unfortunately, due to a signficant decline in families purchasing indivdiual student pictures, Lifetouch can no longer offer yearbooks at no charge.
In an effort to offset the cost of the yearbook for families who may not have the means to purchase one, the Glengary PTA is selling advertisement space in this year’s
yearbook. Each ad will be in color and consist of ⅛ (or the size of a business card) of a page at the conclusion of the book. The cost per ad is $50.
If you would like to purchase advertisement space, please do the following:
1.Complete THIS FORM
2. Provide Andrea Halimi with the ad (exactly as you would like to be printed in the yearbook)
3. Submit payment, either cash or a check made out to Glengary Elementary PTA. All items can be sent to Glengary Elementary School PTA, 3070 Woodbury St, Commerce, MI
