Thanks to third-graders Finley, Kat, and Isaiah for being put on the spot in the library. Donations to the Griffin Fund buy books and furniture and labels and signage and all sorts of stuff for the Glenview Library. Http://www.glenviewelementary.org/giving/griffin-fund

Did you know that the PTA's Griffin Fund pays for the sign-in software that the front office uses to track visitors? Every dollar counts! Https://www.glenviewelementary.org/giving/griffin-fund

We are only about 20% to our goal, which we hope to meet by this Friday! Suggested donation amount is $600 per student, but any amount is appreciated! https://www.glenviewelementary.org/giving/griffin-fund

We don't think that most people realize how much little things add up. Imagine teachers spending their own money to buy supplies for their classrooms. It would add up to more than $20,000 of their own money. Let's not do that. Let's each donate $600 instead so we can take that burden off of them. #justcanthidethatGlenviewpride

This is the big one. Staffing. The Griffin Fund pays for a lot of people at Glenview who make the school run smoothly and who make a huge impact on the students.
* Like having an hour of PE a week. That also includes the Junior Coach program that Mr C runs.
* Like a Garden class. Along with Makerspace and PE, this provides the third enrichment class so that each of the grade-level teachers have an hour of prep time with each other each week. Otherwise they would not.
* Like our Reading Intervention staff. Glenview has some of the highest on-grade-level reading numbers in the district. Without donated Griffin Funds, our intervention program would not be possible.
* Like kinder aides in the classroom. We all know how wiggly those six-year-olds are and how an extra adult in the room always helps.
* Like mental health counselors.
* Like extra hours for support staff.

Imagine Glenview without all these people. Please donate this week so we don’t have to make cuts next year! https://www.glenviewelementary.org/giving/griffin-fund
