Scholastic Book Fair - Open ONLINE!
Did you know that there's still time to shop the GLC book fair?! While our in-person book fair has closed, our online fair will remain open until Sunday, November 27.
Go to our GLC Scholastic Book Fair homepage to learn more. Or click HERE to begin shopping online right away!
The online book fair has over 5,000 products, including Book Fair exclusives, new releases, value packs, and more. Shoppers will receive FREE standard shipping on book-only purchases over $25 and all orders ship direct to home. Plus, all purchases benefit our school!
Shopping the online book fair is also a great way to spend unused eWallet funds.
THANK YOU to all our families who were able to visit the book fair and support our school and PTSA!
Don't forget to READ during the Fall Break!
Reading is critical to success in school. Please make reading a daily event in your home!
Parent-Teacher Conferences - Thank you for coming!
Our goal is always 100% attendance, and we were pretty close to achieving that goal!
If you were not able to make your child's conference, please reach out to their teacher to reschedule. You may also call the office at 559-730-7768 to get started rescheduling. Thank you!
Ornaments Around the World - SAVE THE DATE!
Ornaments Around the World is back in person this year! This annual event provides families a fun - and FREE - way to spend time together while making ornaments for their house or tree. At the same time, families learn about holidays and decorations from countries around the world. The event will be held on Monday, Dec. 5th from 5:00-6:30 PM in the MPR.
Volunteers - We still need volunteers to help with hot chocolate, assist at craft stations for 30-minute blocks, organize materials in advance, and more. If you are interested in helping in any of these ways, please complete this volunteer interest form. Thank you!
