GLOW GAZETTE
WEEK OF APRIL 8, 2024
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
GLOW Students & Families,
We hope you have enjoyed a wonderful Spring Break! We are excited to have all students back at school this week, as we head into the final weeks of the school year! While it's hard to believe that we have only 7 weeks remaining, these are vitally important weeks. It is imperative that students are present and on time for school, ready to engage in daily learning as we get closer and closer to End of Grade and End of Course testing.
Amid the learning that still lies ahead, we also have some fun things in store over the next several weeks. Be sure to read the newsletter below so you don't miss out on the many opportunities to engage both at school and in our community.
Wishing you all a great week ahead!
Kate B. Tayloe
Principal
