Lunches at Glenwood
School lunches must meet Federal nutrition requirements, but decisions about what specific foods to serve and how they are prepared are made by local school food authorities.
Current regulations require schools to meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommend that no more than 30 percent of an individual's calories come from fat, and less than 10 percent from saturated fat. Regulations also establish a standard for school meals to provide one-third of the Recommended Daily Allowances of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories.
Students are required to select their lunch choice, which follows these guidelines. Students must have a fruit or a vegetable as well. The daily lunch menu is included in every newsletter.
After students have eaten their lunch the school does offer the choice of purchasing an A list snack approved by the department. This is not part of our daily school lunch, but it is offered to all students. Students are not required or allowed to purchase snacks as part of their lunch.The purchase of snacks is an extra fee. If you do not want your child to purchase a snack, please email Mrs. Jones at jennifer_jones@wrsd.net.

Makerspace News
Please do not drop off Makerspace materials if we are not in the building. We will have to throw away the materials if we are unsure of where they came from. Thank you for understanding.
A true makerspace is defined not by what's in it, but rather by what comes out of it: projects, experiences, artifacts, and learning. At Glenwood we are looking to have a makerspace that opens opportunities for children to design, create and explore. We are looking for donations of materials we can use in our makerspace. We are in desperate need of materials for our makerspace. Some things that we can not get enough of are:
small pieces of wood and nails for building
Cereal and cardboard boxes
masking and duct tape,
toilet paper and paper towel rolls,
craft supplies,
cereal boxes,
cardboard,
fabric, yarn,
streamers
plastic containers,
or anything that may end up in the recycling bin
We appreciate these and other materials that are in a clean and usable condition.
Except for a few makeups, MCAS ended on Friday with the final Science MCAS.
