Boo Bash~Saturday, October 21 from 2-6pm
Boo Bash is coming! Saturday, October 21st is Glenhope's annual Boo Bash and Silent Auction. There are lots of terrific activities planned for the day, including a petting zoo, face painting and bounce houses. Students, siblings and adults will find lots to do! Don't miss the First Grade Teacher's Package...all the First Grade teachers and four winning bidders will meet on December 9th at 10:00am to paint at Painting With A Twist in downtown Grapevine.
In order for this to be a success, we have to have lots of parent volunteers. Please consider volunteering for some portion of the afternoon. Some of you have difficulty volunteering at other times because of commitments, so this could be a good opportunity to help at Glenhope. Here's the link to volunteer:http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c48afa828a7fa7-parentadult
