Goodbye Ms Toller!Thank you Ms. Toller for your years of compassionate leadership and advocacy for our children. Your daily presence will be missed, but you’ve left us with many gifts that will continue to strengthen our community. We wish you all the best in your new adventures. On behalf of the Glenview parents, Jen Mahan, incoming PTA President, and Rabiya Tuma, PTA President.

Ms. Quinn was interviewed and recommended by our Glenview Principal Hiring Committee. The committee is excited that she has accepted the job and feels she will be a good match for our community.

Ms. Quinn has lived in Oakland for 25 years. Her first teaching job was with 3-5 year olds at De Colores preschool in the Fruitvale district. She has worked for Oakland Unified School District for 22 years as a classroom teacher and as an instructional coach.

Fundraising: We’re Almost There… But Can You Make One More Donation to PTA? Thanks to our terrific fundraising team and amazing community, we’ve raised $247,000 this year to support key programs at Glenview (over 70% goes to direct classroom support). But we’re still $8,000 short of our fundraising goal, and as noted above, we either have to increase our funding for next year or lose some of the programs that make Glenview special. Can you chip in another $20/student? You can donate through the link on the school homepage: http://www.glenviewelementary.org or you can drop a check into the PTA box in the school office. Thank you one and all for your support this year!

Thank You Village Faire Sponsors!
