Glendale News Update
The Snow is Gone...will it return?
Weekly Updates for December 14-18
The 5th grade students and parents jumped on the bus and were preparing for home after a week at Wolf Ridge. The students experienced quality classes, hiking, kitchen patrol and the popular ropes courses. If you want to see some of the events, check out social media: @GDWolfridge or on Instagram with @Glendaleplsas. Thank you to the 5th grade team and all the wonderful parent chaperones for making the trip a success!
The past two weeks have been filled with sadness after the death of former Glendale student, Nicholas Allan and two students from Lakeville South High School. These unfortunate deaths are a reminder of how quickly life can change. We also know the importance of supporting each other. Friends, families, teachers and former teachers continue to reach out. High school students in Lakeville and other communities showed support as well. A photo from Dr. Staloch's tweet is below from the basketball game last Tuesday.
Empowering Students to Create and Collaborate
Our Glendale Leadership Team will be developing a plan for teams in all grades and departments to participate in Innovation and Creation learning projects. Leadership reps will be working with each team/department to brainstorm what projects teachers would like to try. These projects can be supported by Ben and others.
