Dear Glen Burnie Park Elementary Families,

We are thrilled to share that our Fall in Love with Reading Challenge is off to a fantastic start! ❤️📚 Our students have been diving into books and showing wonderful enthusiasm for reading in creative and exciting ways!

We love seeing our students build strong reading habits while having fun! Don’t forget — the class with the greatest participation will earn Gladiator Games with Mr. Myers! 🏆 Keep encouraging your child to read each night and return their completed calendars.

Students will celebrate their reading success by participating in a Book Character Parade, where they may dress up as their favorite book character on 2-27-2026 at 8:30.

Thank you for partnering with us to help our students continue to fall in love with reading! 💛

Anne Arundel County Public Schools is monitoring the weather forecast for potential inclement weather Sunday into Monday. As a reminder, our school district has used all three of the inclement weather days built into the calendar. Should another inclement weather day be needed on Monday or any other future day, it is our intention to switch to virtual learning instructional schedules. This would avoid adding a day to the end of the school year.

Students are being reminded today to take their assigned devices home with them and keep them charged through the weekend.

Virtual learning schedules, which have been updated since the last storm, can be found at www.aacps.org/studentschedules.

Glen Burnie Park Elementary families,

We’re excited to kick off our February reading incentive, 📖 Fall in Love with Reading! 📖 From February 17–27, students are encouraged to read each night at home and have a parent or guardian sign their reading calendar. Completed calendars should be returned to the homeroom teacher at the end of each week.
We’ll celebrate our readers with a Book Character Parade on February 27 at 8:30 a.m., where students may dress as their favorite book character. The homeroom class with the most completed calendars will also earn a special reward — Gladiator Games with our very own rock star, Mr. Myers!

Thank you for partnering with us to build strong reading habits and a lifelong love of books. Let’s fall in love with reading together this February! 📚💕

The Board of Education is now accepting applications for the 2026 Military Service Award in honor of Candace C.W. Antwine, an initiative designed to provide assistance to Anne Arundel County Public Schools students who enlist in the military after graduation.

The monetary awards are given each spring in honor of Ms. Antwine, a Navy veteran who served on the Board of Education from 2018 until her death in 2021, to AACPS students who have made a similar commitment by enlisting to serve in the United States military upon graduation. They assist awardees with initial expenses related to enlisting, including uniforms and basic training supplies, and aim to remove financial barriers to military service.

Applications for this year’s award can be found online at www.aacps.org/serviceaward. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. on April 17, 202
