Glenknoll PAL Toy Drive Benefits Students in PYLUSD
Please help our PAL students give Holiday Toys to children in need throughout Placentia Yorba Linda School District. Not all of our families are as well off as we are and we want to spread kindness and compassion by providing new, unwrapped toys for children in need. To help, bring a new, unwrapped toy to school between December 5 and December 11.
November is National STEAM month - Celebrate by reading about STEAM.

Instrumental Music Notice
With the start of our instrumental music classes, we have a new habit to remember! Please make sure your student has their musical instrument in hand before you leave the house. It is our policy that instruments may NOT be dropped off after the bell rings at 7:50. Our music teachers have told students that if they forget their instrument one or two times during the trimester, it will not affect their grade. Coming to class without their instrument is still beneficial as they are learning the music and playing on an "air" instrument. It will also serve as a reminder for them to bring their instrument next time.
A good practice is to place the instrument by your door, or even in the car the night before. Thank you for your help!
