Welcome Back to School Glennwood Eagles!!
On behalf of the Glennwood PTA, welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! Although we know this year will be different than the past years, we anticipate another great year at Glennwood! The Glennwood PTA exists to support the students, staff and parents at Glennwood Elementary, as well as the school itself. Our goals are to build a strong community among educators, parents and students, and to raise funds to be used to support the school. The PTA is fun for parents and a great way to interact with and be pivotal part of the Glennwood Community and we invite you all to join the PTA*.

 | What We Do The PTA's mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering students, families, and communities in education. We work year-round to build a strong community and raise funds to support our school, educators, and students. Our main fundraising sources are Fall Carnival, Read-A-Thon, Auction, and corporate and family sponsorships. Through these efforts and relationships, we help fund many offerings and programs such as teacher grants, field studies, facility improvements, and classroom needs. Additionally, throughout the year we host events to help our community connect with and get to know one another. Who We Are The PTA comprises parents and staff affiliated with Glennwood Elementary School, working together to build community through school events, committees, and initiatives. Our Board is made up of Glennwood parents, along with our Principal, Dr. Holly Brookins. The Board meets once a month to discuss upcoming events, goals, needs, and concerns raised in our community. Meetings are open to the community, and we invite you to join us to share your ideas. Please reach out to a PTA Board member for more information. |
