Dear Grizzly Families,

December may be short, but it's packed with learning and excitement! We're thrilled to host our 2nd Annual Winter Wonderland Dance, reward our top fundraiser earners with a Glow-in-the-Dark Dance Party, and wrap up the month with a festive Spirit Week. Here's to a fun and memorable end to 2024!

Warm wishes,

Jeanna Costa

Principal

This holiday season, we’re coming together as a community to support 15 Glacier Peak families in need. We’re excited to host a Virtual Giving Tree to provide holiday gifts for students and siblings. Here’s how you can get involved:

• Sponsor a Child or Family: Click on our Virtual Giving Tree form to select a child or family to sponsor. After you select a child or family you will receive an email with all the specifics of what they ahve requested.
• Directions for how to participate can be found here in English and here in Spanish.
• Next Steps: After selecting your sponsorship, you'll find details about what to spend, when to return gifts, and other helpful information here in English and here in Spanish.

All information about sponsored families remains anonymous. Your generosity will bring joy and warmth to our Glacier Peak community, and we thank you in advance for your kindness and support!

Dust off your dancing shoes and pull out your best party clothes! Glacier Peak is excited to announce that we will be hosting a Winter Wonderland Dance on Friday, December 13, 2024 from 6:00-7:30. We would love for all of our students to join us for an evening of dancing, tatoos, a photo booth and snack bar.

A few things to keep in mind for our event:

Doors will open at 6:00 (gym doors).

Students must attend with an adult chaperone, they may not be dropped off.

The entrance and exit will be through the gym doors facing the parking lot

As the holiday season approaches, we’re excited to spread some extra cheer and gratitude to our incredible teachers who work tirelessly to support our students. This year, we’re organizing a special gesture of appreciation and would love your support!

We’re inviting families to donate gift cards for our teachers. These tokens of appreciation can be in any denomination and for any type of store or service—coffee shops, bookstores, restaurants, or even local businesses. This amount will be no more than $25.00. Your thoughtful contribution will go a long way in showing our teachers how much they are valued.

If you’d like to participate, please:

• Drop off gift cards at the school’s front office by 12/17/24.
• Label them "Teacher Appreciation Gift."

Join us in a yearlong effort to support children in need! Collect tin can tabs at home and bring them to school anytime. Every gallon jug we fill provides a free treatment for a child at Children's Hospital. Collection containers are available near the front door and in the cafeteria. Let’s see how much kindness we can gather this year!

Please encourage friends and family from far and wide to put Glacier Peak Elementary as their King Soopers/CityMarket group.

Easy way to help us raise money! Help raise thousands of dollars just by shopping for the things you were already going to buy. If you shop at King Soopers or City Market link your account to Glacier Peak Elementary Community Rewards program.

This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations, like GPE, based on the shopping you do every day.

All you need to do is link your King Soopers Shopper's Card. When you put in your number when checking out, the school gets money from Kroger.

All you have to do is shop!
