| A Note from the Headmaster
Hello Parents, What a busy but delightful week. We had our first annual High School Retreat this Wednesday through Friday. The weather was splendid, parents worked tirelessly, and the students had a blast. Friendships were forged and memories made. HERE are some photos of the event! Have a great weekend, Community Investment “Our focus on moral character and commitment to community are not necessarily features that come to mind when people consider a school or educational institution. However, it is something our parents cherish because it means a meaningful experience for their child. Parents affirm their commitment to our community by sending their students to school each day. Many of our parents uniquely and sacrificially partner with us by supporting our school financially through our Community Investment Campaign. Thank you so much! I know firsthand that this can be burdensome, now that I am making a monthly contribution for two children this school year. I consider it an investment in the lives of so many that will bear fruit for generations to come. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity.” – Kyle Navarrette Mr. Navarrette and our Academy Giving team would like to thank all our GP families who have already given or pledged to our 2021-22 Community Investment campaign. If you have yet to give to this important campaign, please join our donors and begin giving today: follow this link, or email Cathy Sparks at csparks@glendaleprep.org for more information.
