Additionally, we will be selling SPECIAL Glen Oaks t-shirts for the race. Shirts are just $9.00 and can be purchased by filling out the order form that was sent home on Friday. If you are interested, please return the form and payment to the Glen Oaks office by OCTOBER 8TH! Shirts will be distributed to students at school prior to race day.
Our goal is to get as many students participating as possible - if you do register, find Mrs. Reingruber on race day and you will get a special treat!
Your partners in education,
Mrs. Reingruber

We also understand these situations may be stressful to the children. All staff will monitor our Panthers for any signs of stress or anxiety. Our school social workers, Mrs. Rotsch and Mrs. Blackstone, are available to work with students who may be stressed or anxious.
