WINTERFEST is this FRIDAY!- Winterfest is here! This Friday, February 1st from 6-8pm, the PTG is putting on Winterfest, a winter-themed fundraiser to support field trips for McGlynn students. Join us for a fun night of family games. We will have Twister, Pictionary, Trivia and more. We will also be taping Mrs. Guarino to the wall! Entrance is $2. Pizza and bake goods will be sold. We still need loads of help for this event. If you have time to volunteer check out our Volunteer Sign-up or email execboard@mcglynnptg.org.
First McGlynn Elementary Read-a-thon STARTS TODAY- This year, the McGlynn PTG will be sponsoring our First Annual Read-a-thon. Let's get our students reading!

January 21-25: McGlynn Read-a-thon Sponsor Sign Up
January 28: McGlynn Read-a-thon Starts
February 1: McGlynn Read-a-thon Ends
