WESTBROOK - GLEN GROVE PTA NEWSLETTER

Hi Team Westbrook/Glen Grove!
We hope everyone is having a great start to the new school year!
We are looking ahead to some really exciting events this fall (Popsicles at the Playground, Hagerman the Science Wizard assembly, WBGG Back to School Movie Night, and spirit nights).
We want to thank all of the families who have signed up to volunteer as Room Reps, to join Parent PTA Teams, and to donate snacks to stock the staff lounges. We have such an amazing community!
A reminder to Room Reps about the kick-off Zoom meeting tonight at 7pm (please email ptapresident.wbgg@gmail.com if you did not recieve the Zoom information).
Our WBGG PTA Membership Drive is still underway - link below to contribute/join now! The more funds we raise, the more we can provide for our Panda/Gator community - thank you, as always, for your incredible support :)
