Glenside Parents at Work in Schools (PAWS) is an organization whose purposes are to promote a mutual understanding between home and school and to seek legislative and community action to foster superior education. We invite teachers, staff, administrators, and parents and guardians of students at Glenside Elementary School to join us as we advocate for our students’ interests and provide enrichment to the services and supports provided by the Cheltenham School District. Some of PAWS’ annual activities include:
- PTO-Sponsored Assemblies
- Bear Store
- Kindergarten Meet ‘N Greet Playdates and First-Day Kindergarten Coffee (for parents)
- Diversity Festival
- Fair of the Bear Spring Carnival
- Scholastic Book Fair, Book Swaps
- Fall and Winter Family Fun Nights
- MLK Day of Service
- Clubs
PAWS also provides supplemental funding for Glenside Elementary, including gifts of equipment and resources, supplemental funding for events such as the Author’s Visit, and start-up grants for teachers to enable them to purchase items for their classrooms. Get Involved
