Glacier Park Elementary is one of four elementary schools in the Tahoma School District of Western Washington. We are located in Maple Valley, Washington, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain range with Mt. Rainer looming beautifully in the background.

The intent of this website is to be a useful communications tool for all parents, students, and staff at Glacier Park Elementary.  With the active participation of everyone in the community we can collectively make a real difference in the education of our children.  Explore our site and make a decision today to become actively involved.


 

 

 

Glacier Park PTSA would like to thank Maple Valley Safeway for their participation in the eScrip program. During 2008 Glacier Park PTSA earned over $7,000 in contributions from this program!

The Safeway eScrip program is a fantastic program where schools can earn money from purchases families are already making at their local Safeway. Over 400 Glacier Park families have registered their Safeway Club Card numbers and now every time they shop a percentage of what they spend is coming back to Glacier Park.

The money that is generated from this program has gone to many different PTSA programs including transportation for field trips, Camp Casey, and new technology in the classroom.

Thank you Safeway for continuing to fund this program even as the economy has slumped. We VERY much appreciate your commitment to education even when (especially when) economic times are hard. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing our partnership with you to fund youth education!


 

Glacier Park Carnival
A very special thank you to all the volunteers that helped in turning the Glacier Park Carnival into a wonderful success. We wouldn't be able to sponsor such a fun event without all your help.


 

Spring Fundraiser a Success!
Our PTSA fundraiser held during the Celebration of Learning event was a resounding success! We are so thankful to have such wonderful families, teachers and staff in our school and we recognize that this event could not have happened without your hard work and support.

Our amazing results:
$1500 in spaghetti sold!
$6800 in raffle tickets sold!
$4200 raised during our first ever silent auction!
