WEEKLY NEWS
CELEBRATING VIRTUAL GRANDPARENT’S DAY CE
AT A SOCIAL DISTANCE
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
It is important we continue to celebrate… and this week is no exception! One of the special days during the school year is
Grandparent / Special Friend’s Day. I am pleased to see so many students were still able to spend time with grandparents –
many of them from a safe distance! This week we also recognized Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to the PTG and
our families for your generosity - - you continued to make this week special for our teachers! I hope everyone has a
wonderful weekend… and a Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Thank you for your continued support and remember, we are all in this together. Please let us know if we can assist you
and your students in any way. We appreciate everyone’s patience, input and feedback. Please take care, and stay safe!
Feel free to contact me at 610-627-6901 or ebucci@rtmsd.org if you have any questions or concerns. - Eric F. Bucci
Because Glenwood teachers
5th-grade parents: Baby Pictures Wanted!!!
are “Incredible”!!! An email was sent to everyone registered in Membership
Toolkit, but I wanted to touch base again. Please email your
child's baby picture to Glenwoodclassof2020@gmail.com.
We are trying to keep the 5th-grade tradition going, but this
time virtually (a first in GW history)! Submission deadline is
May 15th. At the moment we only have about 1/3 of the
students. Let's make this a fun activity for our kids last year
in elementary!

GLENWOOD WEEKLY NEWS MAY 8, 2020
Dear Glenwood Families,
The Student Ambassadors will be sponsoring a FOOD DRIVE
to support the Media Food Bank during the entire month of
May. If you are looking for a way for your family to help a
family in need, please consider donating to this endeavor.
The Media Food Bank is currently open every day from 12:00-2:00 for drop off.
Since we are still practicing social distancing, we are asking families to drop the food off directly
to the food bank, which is located behind the First United Methodist Church in Media. The
address is:
350 W. State St.
Media, PA 19063
If you are not comfortable shopping and leaving your house, but would like to help, you can
mail a donation directly to the food bank. Please write Glenwood Food Drive in the Memo.
We also think it would be nice to have the students make cards or letters of support or
encouragement to the families in need, or the volunteers at the food bank. If your child makes
a card or letter, please put it in the bag of food you drop off. This is also a great opportunity for
a family outing (stay in the car) to see where all their donations go.
Some items the food bank currently needs:
• Canned soup preferably with pop tops
• Coffee, tea
• Chicken broth
• Rice (any kind but, preferably microwaveable)
• Canned fish (tuna, sardines, canned salmon)
• Baby item (diapers, wipes)
• Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels)
• Kid snacks and cereal
• Baking supplies
Thank you for your continued support. As always, Glenwood is always helping Glenwood. If you
find that your family is in a financial crisis at this uncertain time please reach out to Miss McLean
at mmclean@rtmsd.org for assistance.
Gratefully yours,
The Student Ambassadors
