Glenview’s annual Read-a-Thon blasts off this Friday, February 20th. Students will keep track of their reading, asking family, friends and neighbors to donate to Glenview for their reading efforts.
Please mark your calendars for the following events: February 25th – Park Burger (4218 Park Blvd.) will donate 15% of the night’s proceeds to the Read-a-Thon. March 1st – Ultimate Grounds (4225 Park Blvd.) will give away free coffee and baked treats to anyone who donates to the Read-a-Thon outside the coffee shop. March 4th – Again, Park Burger will generously donate 15% of sales to the Read-a-Thon. March 6th – Celebration of Literacy. Students will turn in their donations. Special guest readers will visit each classroom to read marvelous books and to share stories with the kids. And rumor has it, Principal Toller will KISS A SNAKE if we reach our fundraising goal. This year’s theme is Blast Into Reading. It’s a chance to inspire kids—and all of us—to read and read some more. In addition to being good fun, the Read-a-Thon is also our school’s biggest fundraiser. Our goal this year is to raise $65,000 for art, science, physical education and other basic school necessities at Glenview. Stay tuned for more Read-a-Thon information. It’s going to be a blast!

GLENVIEW GIVING CAMPAIGN - WE MET OUR GOAL!!
We want to thank all the families who contributed as well as the room parents who encouraged them to do so. This extra push is all we needed. A special thanks to those families who donated twice!
We also want to thank our very generous anonymous donors for the incentive to our community and providing a wonderful gift and company match for an additional $5,000, bringing us a grand total of just over $66,000! Because our community pulled together, our PTA will be able to provide multiple enrichment programs, physical education programs, as well as social emotional programming for the 2014-2015 school year. Again, thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you! Sincerely, Glenview Fundraising Committee Glenview Welcomes 4 NEW TeachersWe are starting off the new school year 2014-15 with four new teachers.
