Glenview PTA
"Just can't hide that
Glenview pride!"
Our Mission
The mission of the Glenview PTA is to support students and teachers through the
enrichment of academics; promote a safe and clean learning environment; and welcome,
respect, and engage all families in the school community.
What does the Glenview PTA do?
Some of you may be wondering: "What is the PTA, and why should I become a member?"
The PTA raises funds in order to provide valuable services to Glenview's students, parents,
and teachers. We hope this website answers some questions for you, and that each of you
continues to be involved in our school community and PTA.
How can I get involved?
Strong parental involvement is one of the things that make Glenview Elementary such a
special place. As a member of the PTA, you can have a positive impact on your child's
education. There are so many  ways to become involved that even the busiest of parents can
participate. Click the
Get Involved link to find out how.
Here are some examples of what Glenview PTA funds have supported:
Staff, materials, and cataloging for the school library.
Annual Science Fairs, Spelling Bees, and Read-a-Thons.
After-school enrichment classes, including scholarships for Art, Math and Science
classes.

You may have noticed the three new recycling/composting stations located in the cafeteria

Glenview's new student recycling program. Glenview's Green Team's Goals are:
  • to establish a school-wide, eco-friendly recycling and composting program
  • to raise awareness and educate about reducing waste and increasing re-usable
    resources  
  • reevaluation of Glenview's current garbage needs and implementation of
    composting services to save Glenview elementary thousands of dollars annually.c
