Report Cards will be coming home on Thursday of this week. Students will receive two copies of their Report Card. Parents, please review the report card with your student and sign the white copy.

We are excited to announce that this week we will have our first LIVE GLOW Has Talent Night! Come support our girls as they perform and compete to win the coveted People's Choice Award! We would love to have a big audience to support our girls, this Thursday night at 6:30 in Founder's Hall! Moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, neighbors, friends…all are welcome! Let's pack the place!!!

Picture Day is scheduled for Monday, October 24. School pictures will be used for student badges and for our yearbook photos. Students must wear their purple or yellow GLOW polo shirts for their school picture.

We look forward to celebrating Spirit Week October 24-28! While we have designated days for Spirit Week, students also have the option of "Dressing Down" during Spirit Week. "Dress Down" Days give students an opportunity to express themselves as individuals; however, we feel that it is important that students still dress appropriately for school. You can find information about Spirit Week and our "Dress Down" Expectations below.

NOTE: Monday, October 24 is Picture Day. Students may wear jeans, but they must be in their GLOW polo (purple or yellow).
