Holiday Fun

It was obvious that the holidays are upon us! This week at Glenbrook there was lots of planning for the upcoming holidays and just a little bit of celebrating.  

Thanks to our PTA, we held our annual Holiday Shop all week long in our cafeteria.  Mrs. Warkel organized the event with many of Santa's helpers (parents and grandparents).  The children enjoyed shopping for their families and their friends and even managed to buy a gift or two for themselves.  

The students had to manage their money well to be sure that they had enough money to purchase something for everyone on their gift list.  This was not an easy task with so many great items to choose from.

Thank goodness for our volunteers who worked tirelessly helping the students wrap their packages and label them too. They left with very sore fingers!  Santa would be very proud of them for their help!

To add to the fun, Mrs. DeRoo held her first "Dessert with the Principal."  Students were able to place their "Gotchas" into a raffle to win the dessert.  70 students were chosen and they enjoyed red and green snowball cookies.  It was delicious and fun!

We are so very proud of our Glenbrook students, their families and our staff for participating in our annual Canned Food Drive.  This year they collected 465 non perishable items to donate to Hanover Township Food Pantry.  (21 Boxes)  This is nearly 200 more than we donated last year.  What a great way to help our community and an awesome way to show HAWK PRIDE!!!

These are just 7 of the 21 boxes that  are being donated to the Hanover Township Food Pantry.
We are thankful that our families and staff are so incredibly generous to those in need!
