PTA Post
Edition 3
We are in the thick of things!
I had a really great time seeing so many of our parents at curriculum night - my first time in person - and I am really looking forward to fulfilling our PTA Promise to support the supplement the needs of our children and staff at Glengary. Having such a full calendar of events means a lot of work but every person that contributes - financially or by being another set of hands - really makes it so much easier and definitely worth it.
There is still time to purchase "Mumkins!" The sale ends tonight at midnight!
The final day of registration for STRIDE is TODAY! Boys grades 3-5 will train with coaches and participate in a 5K in November!
Tomorrow is our last day to order Glengary Spirit Wear - I am placing my order just under the wire!!!
The buttons for these opportunities are below!
We have a lot of exciting things in the next couple of months that are definitely worth highlighting:
The PTA membership button and the current class standings in the Membership Challenge are below. You all are in control of which classes win their party prizes!
The QR code to register your student for Fun Run fundraising is below. Help your kids win prizes and earn tickets for the raffle! The flyer with details came home Thursday or Friday with your students!
Our Dining to Donate collaborations with local restaurants are an easy way to support our school and get an easy night off cooking!
Mileage Club has kicked off this week - see below for the Sign Up Genius to help the kids keep track of their laps around the track!
We really can't do all of this without your support! I hope you and your children are as excited about this year as we are!

Future PTA Events!!!
Reflections 2022: Show Your Voice
National PTA’s Reflections program has helped students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. In response to this theme, students create works of art in one or all the available arts categories:
Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts (2D and 3D),Special Artist (must qualify)
This year's theme is "Show Your Voice"
No experience is required to participate in Reflections! Choose the arts category you’re interested in, create an original piece of artwork based on the theme, and be recognized as an artist in our community! Watch this promo video for more information:

Trunk of Treat
This was a new event for our school last year and it is back by popular demand! Families are encouraged to decorate your car trunk, come dressed and ready to hand out treats to our school community! There is no cost to participate but pre-registration will be requested closer to the event date to ensure we have enough space to accommodate everyone! We had an amazing turn out last year and everyone - parents and students alike - had a blast!
Giving Tree combines with P2 Night = Helping Hands
The Giving Tree is our opportunity to support families in our community by helping them give their children a holiday full of joy. Our families donate new gifts based on anonymous wish lists supplied to the school. We are combining one of our drop off dates with our Positivity Project (P2) Helping Hands night where students will be able to use the character strengths they are learning in their classrooms to make gifts and spread the holiday spirit to other members of our community. In the past projects have made tie-fleece blankets, cards and more. Enjoy festive treats and hot chocolate while we give back!
