WE'RE GETTING NEW WINDOWS!!

As you may have noticed, there are two 18’ trailers on Byrd School property. Those trailers will be used to house the new windows, part of the building renovation approved in Glen Rock's 2008 referendum vote. The new windows will soon be installed throughout the entire building. The work involved in this month-long installation will be done after school dismissal.

Bring 'em in! The next Box Tops deadline is February 25.
