GLOW GAZETTE
WEEK OF MARCH 18, 2024
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
GLOW Students & Families,
Can you believe it? We're just two weeks away from our Spring Break! As we eagerly count down the days, I encourage each of you to make the most of these final days before the break. It's crucial that we maintain our focus and attendance, ensuring that we finish the year strong.
We're also diving into the excitement of "March Madness” with our College Door Decorating Competition. This tradition not only adds a splash of color to our hallways but also fosters our college-bound culture at GLOW. Each Leadership Advisory participates and showcases their creativity and enthusiasm for higher education. All students will have an opportunity for a gallery walk around campus to see all of the completed doors. When you find yourself on campus, be sure to take check it out!
Wishing you all a great week ahead!
Kate B. Tayloe
Principal
