Help Make a Difference
Help fund the garden, field trips, arts and science programs, the library, after-school program
scholarships, and more. This year, the PTA is also hoping to fund academic consultants for
kindergarten and 1st grade, noon supervision for all grades and our well-regarded arts
program in dance, music and theater. Our basic PTA budget operates at about $250 per
student, but we welcome contributions at every level, so give what you can. Together, we can
take Glenview, and our children, to the next level of achievement. Please donate today!
