November 3, 2011 Dear GUSD Families, Chances are, you chose to live in Glendora because of the excellent schools.

Last years API numbers (Academic Performance Index) are an indicator of just how successful our schools are, as Glendora placed in the top 25% in California. Continuing our schools excellence in these times of ongoing budget cutbacks from the State is a testament to the commitment of our families, teachers, staff, and administration. Another important factor in continuing this excellence is the work being done by the Foundation for Glendora Unified Schools (FGUS). The mission of the Foundation is to provide financial support, facilitate community involvement, and enhance student learning for the GUSD. Thus far, FGUS has raised over $1.6 million dollars toward this effort. Last year, the Foundation raised $448,000 which was used to enrich your childs education in your childs school. To continue and expand this valuable work, FGUS would like to surpass last years figure and get even more of our school families and community involved. A superior education for our students means better colleges, better jobs, and results in more productive members of our society. Please Support Our Students by making your gift today using the attached envelope, on the website (www.fgus.net), using PayPal, or through the convenient Circle of Giving monthly deduction plan which is also on the website. All gifts are tax deductible, and gifts of $100 or more will receive an SOS yard sign to proudly display during the Spring. Community and parental support of education is very important in Glendora. During this season of thanksgiving, we thank you for your past support, and invite you to please join FGUS in making Glendoras schools the best they can be for all of our students. Thank you,

Mike Beckman
President, FGUS
