“Making Every Child’s Potential a Reality”
Welcome to the 2009-2010 School Year! We are excited to be the
new Glacier Park Elementary School PTSA Co-Presidents and are
looking forward to working with all of you indispensable
volunteers.The PTSA vision is “Making Every Child’s Potential a
Reality”. The members of Glacier Park Elementary School PTSA are
proud of our school’s ability to reach for that goal! Being part
of the PTSA is a fantastic way to get involved in your child’s
education.
The PTSA sponsors and supports many programs here at Glacier
Park. Such programs include: Monthly GRR Reading, Classroom Art
Docent, Reflections Art Competition, Video/Broadcasting, Drama,
Playground Equipment, Field Trip Transportation, 5th Grade Camp
Casey, Technology Equipment . . . and much more. These
wonderfully rich supplements to our students’ learning are an
integral part of our school’s culture. This enrichment to our
Children’s education cannot happen without vital volunteers like
you! We need your help to continue and to increase the support
of these programs. There are many opportunities, some of which
include working on specific events, for you to get involved.
Please look in your “Welcome Packet” for the PTSA Volunteer Form
that lists all the committees the PTSA operates, along with your
PTSA Membership Application. Be sure to complete both of these
forms and return them to the office so you too can show your
support and get connected!
Starting the year off running, we are looking forward to some
very exciting fundraising opportunities in September and
October. Please keep your eyes open for information about our
Walk-A-Thon, Art for Kids Greeting Cards (featuring your
precious one’s artwork), Glacier Park’s very own spiritwear, and
Elliot Bay Fundraising. Your support
of these events will only make us stronger!
We look forward to seeing you at our first general meeting on
Monday, September 14th at 6:00pm. Bring your family for an
exciting and informative evening, where you can learn all about
getting involved while enjoying a pizza dinner. Elliot Bay
Fundraising will be providing dessert! After our meeting, the
school will then conduct a volunteer training session, while the
PTSA provides you with child care!

Again, welcome to Glacier Park Elementary! It’s going to be an
outstanding year!

THANK YOU SAFEWAY!
Glacier Park Elementary School PTSA wants to recognize
what Maple Valley Safeway contributions have done not
only for our school community but the community at
large. GPES PTSA earned $7,650 in 2009 on the Safeway
eScrip Program.
Glacier
Park Elementary
School’s parents, teachers and
students recognize the positive impact their support has
on our community. Thanks to Safeway, our PTSA has been
able to enrich our children’s education with supplies
for our Art Docent program, transportation to field
trips, attendance to Camp
Casey, funding for our performing arts
and
Pacific Science
Center assemblies. Without
Safeway's participation, these programs would have
possibly ceased to exist. Thank you Safeway!
Thank you again for
supporting youth education!
Sincerely,
Holly Bezon
Glacier
