Glebe Little Free Library Cabinet

Encourage your child's reading by masking up and visiting the Glebe Little Free Library Cabinet, outside the front door entrance to Glebe. New books have been added, and thanks to Courtney Markle's work, they have been organized and shelved to help your reader make a great choice. If you have elementary student appropriate books to donate, please email Courtney at cshel@live.com. Due to Covid guidelines, please do not put books on the shelf. Happy reading!

Project Headphones

Project Headphones: Headphones are an essential item to make virtual learning a successful experience for all APS families. However, headphones are by far the most expensive item on supply lists spanning all grades. Project Headphones' mission is to ensure that ALL APS students have access to this essential item. Check out Project Headphones' fundraising page and please consider donating. https://gf.me/u/yk5cuy. (Note: Project Headphones is not affiliated with the Glebe PTA).

APS Updates.

If you're looking for the latest information on return-to-school planning, resources to assist with online school, or how to access meals, please visit the APS webpage. There are frequent updates and also ways to share your questions and input with our superintendent, Dr. Francisco Duran, and members of the school board.

Volunteers for 2020-2021 School Year Needed:

Volunteers Needed to Serve as Virtual Room Parents: We may be apart, but Glebe is still together in spirit. Help your child's teachers and bring people together by serving as a room parent this year.
