GLO After-school at Sherman

GLO HISTORY - In 1982, a group of working parents from West Portal Elementary School who needed safe before and afterschool programming established West Portal C.A.R.E., Inc. The organization’s humble beginnings had less than 50 children enrolled. Over 20 years later, in August 2005, the organization was renamed Growth & Learning Opportunities (GLO). Growth & Learning Opportunities maintains its private non-prot status and community based family services. The organization operates six licensed before and after-school programs located in San Francisco public schools.

UNIQUE QUALITIES ABOUT GLO AT SHERMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - At all the schools GLO is in partnership with, there is a long term commitment from the organization. GLO’s partnership with Sherman School has a goal to bring a quality afterschool program available for all Sherman Elementary School students provided by GLO in the Fall of 2010. For the next three years, GLO will work diligently to create a strong foundation for a sustainable program through joint activities, special events, and partnership between the GLO Director and SFUSD Excel Program Coordinator. The process will ensure a respectful and culturally competent program for children and families as well as viable situation for GLO to provide services. The process and outcomes will provide exciting and unique opportunities for everyone in the school community.

Who will be the GLO Site Director at Sherman?  Beth Guy has worked for GLO for the past 8 years. She started as a teacher assistant at the Alice Fong Yu location. She worked 3 years as the Assistant Site Director at West Portal Elementary and Director of the GLO Summer Program for two years. She is extremely excited to begin her Site Directorship at Sherman Elementary! Beth loves to travel, and tries to make it to Europe at least once a year to visit with her family. On her spare time, Beth coaches club volleyball and enjoys spending time with her friends.
