GLOW GAZETTE

GLOW Students & Families,

We hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead! It's hard to believe, but we are already at the midway point of this quarter, and Interim Reports will be going home in all classes on Thursday of this week.

Also, this week, we are looking forward to our 8th Annual Cool Women Hot Jobs event on Friday. Almost 100 professional women in our area have volunteered to spend Friday morning talking with our students. This is a favorite event for our students (and volunteers) each year. As a reminder, students must be in FORMAL uniform on Friday. Formal Uniform means that students are wearing their GLOW collared/polo-style shirt on Friday.

Wishing you all a great week ahead!

Kate B. Tayloe

Principal
