November 2021
A MESSAGE FROM OUR SCA CO-PRESIDENTS


Dear Glenwood Landing Families,


Autumn has arrived! The school year is off to a great start and the SCA has a lot of activities planned.  Don't forget to check out the GWL SCA website and mark your calendar so you don't miss out!  

November is about giving thanks, and we are grateful for all that our community has done.  Your continued support of the SCA is so appreciated. We could not provide for our children without your generosity!  And so, we want to thank:

  • Those who attended the October SCA member meeting.  Turn out for the meeting was great!  We also appreciate all of the feedback and ideas that everyone had to offer, and encourage everyone to continue attending the member meetings to hear first hand what's happening and bring us more ideas to consider.
  • All the volunteers who have raised their hand to date to get involved in our fundraisers and events. This is a team effort and everyone's contributions are valued.   Just look at the success of Boosterthon, and everyone who made the Trunk or Treat something to remember!  
  • Our teachers and staff at the school.  Our children are inspired by you, and as parents we value your dedication, understanding and compassion. 

We also have some reminders!  It's the start of the holiday shopping season!  Don't forget these ongoing fundraisers.  Your purchases help support the SCA.

  • Amazon Smile
  • Benefit
  • #GWLEATS - Pampered Chef products (details to follow!)

Check out the list of upcoming events and fundraisers below! If you have any concerns or thoughts, please know that we are here to help and listen!


Warmest regards,

Lynne Ford and Ramona Leonard
