Principal's Message
At Glenmeadows School, we pride ourselves in having our students write authentically with engaging current topics. Throughout this week, students had the opportunity to share their ideas, thoughts, and reflections to create a piece of writing about the topic of vandalism in our school, a topic dear to their hearts. Students have a strong sense of social justice, as demonstrated in classroom conversations, writing pieces, volunteering to clean walls, and creating posters. As a staff, we have decided to provide students with weekly write-ups that are current and engaging with current topics. Every week, a teacher will propose a topic to engage students in the beautiful skill of writing. This initiative will support our School Development Plan, which is focused on content and organization. We encourage families to continue to share their ideas with their children in the weekly write-ups as the topics will become increasingly essential hooks and provide a vital audience for their writing.
