Additionally, you may shop through next week with your child online at Little Shop of Stories scanning the QR code above. Be sure to type in "Glennwood" at checkout and choose "in store pick up." Books must be picked up at Little Shop of Stories or shipped to your home.

Teachers would LOVE to be able to shop at the book fair for their classroom libraries. We offer families the opportunity to purchase a gift book label in $10, $15 or $20 increments. Your child will fill out the gift label, and we will deliver it to your child's teacher. The teacher will choose a book and place the gift label inside the book as a gift from your family. The labels are available for purchase at check out.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our Fall Carnival & Chili Cook Off. With your support, we were able to surpass funds raised last year and raise over $5,700! We will be working closely with our staff to make sure these funds go towards our greatest needs for our Glennwood community.

We would greatly appreciate your participation in this quick feedback survey so that we can continue to make our events even better.

We have NEW and vintage spiritwear available! Purchase online and items will be delivered via backpack.

STEP UP for Decatur Youth!

DEF was founded more than 20 years ago by a group of residents who wanted to ensure that EVERY student in CSD had what they needed to learn and thrive. Today, DEF's mission remains focused on Decatur's kids and educators, and we are still 100% reliant on the support of the Decatur community. DEF puts the community's contributions where they will have the biggest impact on our students, and DEF's Step Up Circle is a special group of supporters that allows us to operate programs like Lighten the Load, Teacher Innovation Grants, behavioral health support, arts programming, and so much more. There are also benefits - for both businesses and individuals - to joining DEF's Step Up Circle (beyond the warm and fuzzy feeling you get from supporting Decatur's kids!). Visit https://decatureducationfoundation.org/step-up-circle/ to learn more about the different giving levels.
