Sign up today to help with the book fair. Volunteers will be given a $5 off coupon in appreciation of their service. The eWallet feature has been activated so parents do not have to send in cash/check and only money spent is used. The eWallet is available to shoppers from 3/25 to 4/12.

Panther Store: April 12 - Sign up today to volunteer at the Panther Store. Students earn Panther Cards from Glasgow staff when they commit acts of Kindness, Commitment or Safety - these are the Panther Principles! Once a month, students have the opportunity to redeem their Panther cards at the Panther Store, which is open during lunch. Parents staff the Panther Store, and it's one of the few volunteer opportunities at Glasgow during the school day that puts you in direct contact with students.
So come visit our school and work the PBIS Store during Glasgow lunches. We need at least 2 volunteers per session (minimum of 4 per day). If you know your child's lunch session - you can sign up to volunteer at that time. It is an easy and fun volunteer opportunity. Training will be provided at the beginning of your session (minimal instruction is needed!)
Open Campus: April 23-25 - Open Campus is a great tradition as it builds community as a school, allows students and staff to find fun ways interact outside our normal routines, and is a way to celebrate all the good behaviors happening around the school. Sign up today to volunteer. If you do not know about Open Campus, check out this Apple 21 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmkvkrOS704
