| A Note from the Headmaster
Hello Parents, I want to share with you about an event we will have next week. Mr. Brown, our school counselor, will be leading a presentation and time for Q&A on Thursday, April 28th from 6:00pm-7:00pm in the Archway MPR. The topic of choice is Social Media Safety and Guidance, but certainly will cover kindness, which is connected to our parent survey and something of which a handful of parents have shared feedback. There is no need to RSVP. We think it best for this event and the first of this kind to make this a “parents only” event. The outline for the night will be as follows: · Presentation on the popularity and permanence of social media · Role and Responsibility of Parents · Role and Responsibility of Students · Role and Responsibility of the School We will follow the presentation with a time for public and individual Q&A. I hope to see you there. Mr. Navarrette Get Your Yearbook! Ensure that your child will receive one of the coveted 2021-2022 Glendale Prep yearbooks! Yearbooks are $50 on the payment portal HERE. They will be distributed the last week of school. Senior Drama Performance: TOMORROW! Court is in session this Saturday! The Grade 12 students will be presenting the historical modern drama Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee TOMORROW at 3:00 pm in the GP Gymnasium. Be sure to join us for this immersive courtroom experience. The students of period 3 have been working hard all semester and this show is sure to offer memorable moments, conversation starters, and wonderful performances from this dynamic group of students. Admission is free and we will be having refreshments during intermission; cash only. Proceeds will go towards the Grade 12 trip to D.C. next month. Hope to see you in court!
