Glebe families, school staff and our supportive community are invited to join us at this year’s Annual Spring Auction & Social, scheduled for Saturday, April 13 at Knights of Columbus. In the theme of Viva Las Vegas, this adults-only evening will provide an opportunity to meet and connect with Glebe families and staff, all while enjoying delicious food in a festive atmosphere! Our silent and live auction highlights fabulous items including weekend getaways at luxurious hotels, dinners at favorite community restaurants, tickets to local events, one-of-a-kind class projects created by our students, and Glebe staff donations like the ever popular “Principal for a Day.” The best part is that 100% of profits go directly back to our school to support our students, teachers and community.
If you are thinking about donating and want to learn more about our school, Glebe Elementary School is home to over 550 students in grades K-5, and over 400 North Arlington families. This wonderful annual event, attended by hundreds of our parents, teachers and staff, is our largest fundraiser of the year. We have been grateful in the past for the participation of our community partners, whose generosity provides so much opportunity for our school community all year long.
The guiding priorities for our PTA in 2013 are: to provide an exceptional educational experience for all students; to build community through great events that are free to our families; to support Glebe teachers and staff; to build family involvement in education; to provide a voice for Glebe students and families to Arlington County Public Schools; and to increase exposure of our students to education in arts, healthy living, and technology. Our formula for fundraising success is simple. The more generous our community partners, and the more supportive our families, the more successful we can be.
We look forward to a great Glebe Auction – Viva Las Vegas!
