Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Thank you to everyone that helped make teacher/staff appreciation week a memorable event. We have a great community and are so thankful for all your support and kindness.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Brazao for the great success of the district art show. She worked so hard to prepare for and display our awesome artists' work at the Lakeside Center. Congrats to our students that had their work displayed.
We look forward to seeing everyone next Thursday, from 6-7:30 PM, for our building's Open House. Students and teachers have worked hard to showcase many of the great things that they have done recently and during the year. Our PTA has secured the Kona Ice truck for the evening. It looks like it will actually be warm so you'll want to stop by and get a little treat!
Have a great weekend and tune up those bicycles!
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Reinhardt

We are excited to have Field Day back again at Glacier Ridge. If you have not heard about this event here is a little description:
Field Day is a fun filled day for all students, as a class, to enjoy a series of stations put together by Mrs. Maule and our PTA. The students are outside the majority of the day participating in fun obstacle courses, relays, and more. We even eat lunch outside! The goal of the day is to have fun and cheer each other on. We do not focus on competition or winning. At the end of our fun day awards are given to the class showing the most Polar Bear spirit followed by popsicles and a movie to be enjoyed in the classroom.
Please consider volunteering to help guide and ensure safety for our students. (Field Day is only open to adults who have signed up to volunteer AND successfully completed the District volunteer procedures.) Here is the volunteer sign up link:
