Pack-the-Place was...
PACKED!!!

Boosters had another successful Pack-the-Place event on Friday, Jan 20 and Saturday, Jan 21.  With fun games and pasta supplied by our friends at Barone's, a good time was had by all.

Thanks to Co-Chairs Lesli and John Brodner, Laurie and Greg Reifel, and their small army of committee members and helpers.  Great job folks!

In the past 10 years, the Boosters have raised more than $1,100,000 (!!!) for academic, athletics and co-curricular programs.

Last year was another successful fund-raising year and thanks to the on-going generosity of families and merchants in the GW community.  Funds were disbursed to support a wide array of academic, athletic, and co-curricular programs at Glenbard West, and our financial grants touch nearly every student in a positive way.
