GLENCOE JUNIOR HIGH PROJECT 

Dear Glencoe Parents, Community and Friends,

 

A lot of great things turn 50 this year…the song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by the Elton John, George Lucas’s film American Graffiti, the Volkswagen VW Scirocco, Heidi Klum, and our personal favorite…Glencoe Junior High Project!

 

For 50 years, GJHP has strived to meet our mission of fostering socially aware, civic-minded and community-oriented individuals. We do this through a combination of programing; between our annual no-cut musical, literacy programs, civic engagement opportunities, monthly social events, and a wide variety of after school activities, there is truly something for every Glencoe middle school student to enjoy!

​

To continue fulfilling our mission supporting Glencoe youth for another 50 years, we need your help! GJHP relies on grants and charitable donations from private donors such as yourself to continue our work. This year we will lose funding from our largest grant, the New Trier Township, because of a change in their policy requiring all funded organizations to equally serve all youth across the township (4000+ middle-schoolers). GJHP has chosen to continue to focus on Glencoe middle school students in order to preserve the all-inclusive nature of our programming (no-cut performing arts, and inclusive opportunity for 100% of Glencoe middle-schoolers, which would not be sustainable if we expanded scope to 4000+ students). We ask you to please consider a donation to GJHP as we begin this new year. Your donation will be put to great use right here in our own village!

 

Donations can be made directly through our website or by check payable to “Glencoe Junior High Project” sent to P.O. Box 322, Glencoe, Illinois 60022. All financial contributions are fully tax deductible. We appreciate the continued support of the Glencoe community.

 

Sincerely,

The GJHP Board
