Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Wow! Thank you to all our families for their generous donations for our PTA Fun Run fundraiser. Now Mrs. Reinhardt and I will need to work from the roof one day soon. Although we could not do the run yesterday, due to weather, we will do it next Thursday. Congratulations to the top three classes: Miss O'Brien's class with $1,981.86, Mrs. Seegert with $2,050.18 and Mrs. Massett, the winning class, raised $2,459.05. The PTA is excited to use these funds to help make GRS even better! Come get involved and join us at our next meeting on November 2nd.
Remember no school on Monday.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Reinhardt

Thank you for supporting our fine arts program!
It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's SUPER Library!
WOW! So many classes are earning reward days for good choices in library class. These days can get a bit messy, so Encore T-shirts are very helpful!
We continue to review library procedures, Destiny Discover for grades 3-5, and Library Journal set up in grades 2-5. First graders are trying Quick Reads and Non-Fiction, while 2nd graders are reviewing "just right books."
Please check your homes for any books that may have not been returned. We appreciate your time to look! If you are unable to find books or need to know the titles that were checked out, please email gwjohnston@d47.org. We can let you know the amount to replace missing items. **We received two books from February 2020 this week!** THANK YOU!!
Do you have some time to work on library projects? We have several volunteer library projects and could use your help! We also have PTA committees for Reading Incentive, Author Visit, Glacier Ridge Reads, and Harry Potter Club. We'd love to see you in any of these volunteer positions. Please contact Mrs. Johnston at gwjohnston@d47.org if you are interested.
