​La Familia Glenmeadows gathered last night to celebrate Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. There was dancing, movies, crafts, food, and many other activities that children and parents enjoyed.  Children, parents and staff wore fantastic costumes that certainly got compliments from all attendees.  We appreciate the School Council/Society and the many parent volunteers for a well-organized event.  We also appreciate our school facility operator, Sr. Allan, who completed the final clean-up before the school started this morning. Unlike last year, none pulled the fire alarm. There was no confusion as to whether those wearing firefighter suits were real or not real firefighters…

Esta tarde/This afternoon, we had our first Latin dance recital, where many kindergarten parents were very proud of their little ones.  Using contemporary Latin music, students displayed simple yet impressive Latin dance steps.  I can not wait to see grades 1 to 6 within the next couple of months. 

As a staff, we are concentrating our efforts on Equity.  This means removing learning barriers through technology and differentiated and specific strategies for different learning styles and capabilities.  Our aim is to provide strategic tasks through multiple entry points to maximize student success.  To this end, we spend time on Fridays and PD to increase our teaching practice.

Este es un recordatorio amigable/This is a friendly reminder that next Thursday, the 9, is an Indigenous PD with no school.  Students will be on a short vacation starting November 9 to 14, 2023.  ​
