Parent Go To School Night & Scholastic Book Fair

Parent Go To School Night and our 1st Scholastic Book Fair of the 2017-2018 school year were an incredible success! GLA earned $673 from Scholastic towards books for the school! We also loved having families in classrooms getting to know their scholar's teachers and learning about the curriculum & information scholars will learn this year.
