Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Mrs. Reinhardt and I are excited to be grilling out this next Friday for our students and staff. I am told that Mrs. Reinhardt is experienced at grilling so we have no worries!
We can't believe that the end of the year is so close. A big shout out to all our former Polar Bears that will be graduating this weekend. Best of luck to you as you transition into the next phase of young adulthood!
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Jacobsen & Mrs. Reinhardt
