Good Evening Glenn Marlow families!
One week to go until Winter Break, and man ‘o’ man, it was so great to see sunshine today! Looking forward to more tomorrow until the rain returns on Wednesday.

Reflecting on last week, we want to say thank you to all the parents, visitors, and volunteers who came to the Christmas lunch last week. We had a great crowd and everything went very well!

Even though we got a little wet, our Staff had a great time caroling throughout the Marlow community last Thursday, and we want to say ‘thank you’ to the crowds and treats that were provided to us. Thank you for being a #CommunityofExcellence!

We have had so much fun celebrating this joyous time of year, and we hope you have to!

As a reminder, and if you have not joined already, follow us on Instagram @glennnmarlowmustangs for pictures, teacher/staff spotlights, class and grade level events, and school reminders. Shout-out to Ms. Sherri Hogan, our Social Media guru, for doing an awesome job keeping everyone “in the loop.”

With Mustang Pride,

John Hart

Last Call for Lost and Found this Week!

  • Kudos to all those our students (and parents who have been in our building) sifting through our Lost and Found, searching for that sweatshirt, coat, hat, jacket, or whatever else that may have been left behind.
  • As we have done in year’s past, our Lost and Found will be cleared out this Friday afternoon. Please be sure you (or your child(ren)) take one more look before they are gone.
  • If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the school, either by phone or email, jehart@hcpsnc.org. Thanks so much.

A message from our PTO Co-President, Dawn Steed

A Marlow “Box Tops” Challenge

  • Dear Marlow Family, we are kicking off a new Box Tops for Education leaderboard challenge that is running through 12/16/2022!
  • The goal is to have your child’s classroom be in first place on the Fall Leaderboard. The winning class will earn a special reward party when they return from Winter Break!
  • Here’s how it works:
    • Make sure you are registered in the Box Tops app. If not, be sure to use the referral code LEEY04NE to give the school bonus tops!
    • Buy Box Tops products during the holiday season, and scan your receipt with the Box Tops app within 14 days of purchase. Digital receipts are also accepted! (a list of Box Tops items can be found on the website and the app).
    • After scanning your receipt, make sure Glenn C. Marlow Elementary School is your selected school in the app.
    • Tap on Give Credit to select your child’s classroom. You can scroll down to add a note with your child’s name or additional information on who should get credit.
    • The number of Box Tops earned with your receipt will be credited to the classroom you selected. Credits will NOT be dispersed properly if a classroom is not selected.
    • To see where your child’s classroom stands on our leaderboard, open the Box Tops app, tap on the school card on the Home screen and check out Fall Leaderboard on the school dashboard.
    • Want to give credit for a digital or email receipt? Go into the Box Tops app, tap on the My Earnings button at the top of the screen and tap on the transaction you’d like to credit. Scroll past the list of products and tap on Give Credit at the bottom of the screen. Then, select your child’s classroom.
    • Let’s have some fun and help Glenn C. Marlow Elementary School get our students what they need to succeed! Thank you, Lori Hayden, Box Tops Coordinator

Looking ahead to January…

  • …Are you kidding me? Let’s enjoy this week, enjoy the next two weeks with no school, and everyone have a wonderful holiday break! We will see you back on Tuesday, January 3rd, and then we will talk about what’s happening in January.
  • Happy Holidays and see you next year!
