Arctic Blast
Glacier Ridge Elementary School 04.30.21
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
In this Blast there is important information about re-enrollment for next school year. It's imperative that you do this as soon as possible as we begin building classes starting this month.
Mrs. Reinhardt and I are so proud of our teaching staff here at GRS. They are amazing educators and have worked so hard all year long. Please join us in celebrating them starting Monday as it kicks off National Teacher Appreciation Week.
A shout out to our PTA for bringing the pretzel food truck to school this past Wednesday. The pretzels were warm and the line was long!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Reinhardt
Nominate your favorite teacher
Hope you can make it.
