Glacier Ridge Elementary School 04.22.22
Dear Glacier Ridge Families,
We are happy to share that our four students (Victoria S., Jacob M., Dylan B. and Landon G.) who participated in the Future Chef competition yesterday did an excellent job. A huge congratulations to Victoria S for winning the overall competition. Way to go Victoria; we may see you in the future on your own cooking show!
We completed our state testing this week in grades 3-5 and we are proud of how hard they worked completing these assessments. Once the district receives results these will be shared with you.
Coming up this week we will be holding our annual student talent show. We are excited that this year we will be able to do it in person. Join us Thursday evening for our nighttime show and see how talented our students are.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Reinhardt
