Passive Fundraising Message:

While many of the PTA’s usual activities have been reimagined, we are still actively working to serve our Glennwood community. School supplies, teacher appreciation, virtual events, and PPE are just some of the ways we’ve been working to support our community this year. Without the PTA’s annual fundraisers, and as we all hunker down for the holidays, here are a couple ways you can raise funds to support our students, teachers, and an eventual safe return to the building, just by going about your daily routines. These programs do not cost any extra money on your behalf, but over time, they will add up to make a difference!

AMAZON SMILE: When you shop at smile.amazon.com, Amazon will give .5% of your eligible purchases to a charity of your choice…namely, Glennwood!

About Us:

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 the Grill Off, 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.
