(Updated 08/29/22) This Week In GHS Sports
Below is our schedule of events for next week:
(Updated 09/05/22) School Lunch Information
Student breakfasts and lunches have returned to our
previous, before pandemic, pricing guidelines. All meals must be paid for
according to your students’ status. Current prices are $1.60 full price
breakfast, $.30 reduced, $3.20 lunch, $.40 reduced. We encourage
all guardians to complete a free/reduced price application, if not already done
so this year. Your student can request one at the main office, or at the
cash registers during meal services. You can also apply online on the
sps.org website following a link on the right side of the page entitled “free
reduced meal application”. To prepay the meals, you can either send cash
or check with your student, bring it in yourself, or add online on the
mypaymentsplus.com website. Be aware the online option does charge a
percentage fee based on the amount you add. You should have received a
packet of information regarding all this before school started. There is
a new policy in place, requiring Cafeteria managers to reach out via phone call
daily to accounts that exceed charges of $5.00. We ask you either
apply, or make payments on the delinquencies as soon as possible. If you
have any more questions, you may call our Cafeteria Manager at (417) 523-8990.
(Updated 09/07/2022) Flockappella
Does your student enjoy singing? Are you looking for ways
for them to be more involved? We might have the answer! Flockappella-
Glendale’s competitive a cappella performance group, is holding auditions for
new members after school, Thursday, September 15th. Students can
sign up for their audition spot outside the choir room. All they need is to
prepare a solo that shows off their voice and range. All grades, all students,
all voice parts are welcome to audition.
(Updated 09/07/22) PTSA Discount Card Fundraiser
Please ask your high schooler about an exciting contest we are
having at school. Our Flight (intervention) classes are competing for a chance
to win a pizza party by selling discount cards for our PTSA. Many local
businesses have pitched in to offer special discounts in our community. The
Flight class that sells the MOST discount cards by September 16, wins a pizza
party complete with pizza, donuts, soda and cookies! Our PTSA raises
money to meet the needs of our teachers, staff and students that are not met
through the regular school budget. Some examples of some things PTSA has
provided in the past are student seating, books, safety googles and music
stands; funding for special student entrepreneur and spirit projects; and meals
and gifts of appreciation for our teachers and staff. Thank you for
encouraging your high schooler to sell discount cards by September 16th, to
support our wonderful teachers, staff and students here at Glendale!
