Glenhope's Open House is next Thursday, March 6th. Last names A-L have been asked to come from 6:00-6:30 and M-Z from 6:30-7:00. We'd love to see you, so if the designated time for your last name doesn't work, please come whenever!

Late Assignments Due By March 11th

Just a reminder that any late assignments need to be turned in the Tuesday before the grading period ends, which is Tuesday, March 11th. Late assignments not turned in by that due date will receive a grade of zero. Thank you.

Aaaaand....WE'RE OUT!!!

We are completey out of snacks and mints! Sometimes I think these kids are bottomless pits!

Please remember to pack a snack or two each day in case we have none to offer.

If you would like, we could use more Veggie Straws and/or Skinny Pop Original and Red/Green Peppermints!!

Only YOU can prevent HANGRY 4th Graders!!

Thank you-

Growth Mindset: Learning a New Skill

Below is a video that tells the story of Jonah, who has a hard time sitting still and in turn, taught himself to crochet. He now teaches others in his school community to crochet and has a crochet business! Many of our ASPIRE students have this type of drive and initiative. What a great message it is for them to harness their creative instincts and use them to make change in the world!
