Hello everyone,
This month’s update is coming a few days early. Lots of exciting things are coming up in the month of May. Here we go!
First, a reminder: Students may start arriving on school grounds between 8:45 – 8:55 a.m. Prior to that time, there is no supervision and students can be at risk. The only exception to an 8:45 a.m. arrival is when students are requested to be at school early by a teacher for a previously organized event, such as Track practice. Please do not send or drop off students early to school, before 8:45 a.m. (More information on this topic is located in your child’s planner).
Important Announcement
Tuesday, April 30th will be Ms. Hajek’s last day at Glenwood as she is retiring. After nearly eight years at Glenwood, we are sad to see Ms. Hajek leave, but wish her the best in her next adventure. Ms. Yamaguchi will be replacing Ms. Hajek starting Wednesday, May 1st. Please join us in welcoming Ms. Yamaguchi to Glenwood.
Salmon in the School Update
On Wednesday, May 1st, students in Divisions 2 and 5 will walk to Byrne Creek and release our school-raised salmon fry. Raising salmon at school has been an exciting, educational, and engaging experience for everyone at Glenwood. We are sad to say goodbye to our fry, but know that in just a few short years, those salmon fry will return to Byrne Creek in the fall to spawn.
Badminton at Glenwood
From Wednesday, May 1st – Friday May 3rd, all students at Glenwood will have the opportunity to participate in daily badminton lessons. Lessons will be taught by badminton coaches, and students will be supervised by their teachers.
Field Trip – Science World
On Monday, May 6th, staff, students, and parent volunteers from Divisions 2, 3, 4, and 5 will go to Science World! Thank you to the Glenwood PAC for providing the funds for transportation. This field trip will enhance our learning in Science and ADST. Students will be in groups of 5, with an adult chaperone. Thank you to our parent volunteers for accompanying us on this trip!
