Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
As the holiday season is upon us, we wanted to say what a gift it is to be able to work with your children each day. Watching the growth that has been occurring all year is wonderful to behold.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Share Bear and to our Giving Tree. The Giving Tree will remain up until next week, when all items will be taken tot the community drop off.
We hope to see you next week at our building events taking place. Glacier Ridge Eats Out on Monday and for our Breakout EDU event on Tuesday. It is a fun time for all. Your heart will grow 3 times as large!
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Adams

Glacier Ridge Reading Incentive
December 16, 2019-January 31, 2020
Your child will receive a packet of information on Friday, December 13th for the Reading Incentive Program that begins on Monday, December 16th. Here is a brief explanation and links for more copies:
There are two parts of our Reading Incentive--a Bookmark and a Bingo Board:
Bookmarks are to count reading minutes for earning tickets to community activities. Students can earn ONE ticket to each of these: Chicago Wolves, Kane County Cougars, Santa’s Village, and/or Windy City Bulls. Each bookmark (limit 4) = 360 minutes (6 hours) of reading = ONE small prize + ONE community activity ticket (indicate ONE choice per bookmark).
Bingo Boards are fun reading activities that earn CHANCES to win a variety of prizes.
Prizes may be gift certificates, books, and much more!
Extra bookmarks and Bingo Boards can be found in the office, library, and hallway bulletin board. Links for printing at home can be found here:
