GLOW GAZETTE

OCTOBER 14, 2024

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Students & Parents,

We hope our students and families enjoyed Fall Break and are ready for a strong start to Quarter 2! We look forward to seeing students on campus tomorrow, Monday, October 14th.

Last week was a great week at GLOW, especially our celebration of International Day of the Girl on Wednesday. Each grade level was assigned a theme relevant to girl’s issues, and challenged to create a hallway mural interpreting the topic through their own perspective.

Report Cards will go home on Thursday, October 17th. Students will receive two copies of their Report Card. Parents, please review the report card with your student and sign the white copy. Students will bring the signed white copy of their report card back to school to turn-in to their Leadership Advisory teacher on Friday.

Wishing you all a great week ahead!

Kate B. Tayloe

Principal
