Hello Grizzly families,
Thank you to our enthusiastic students for participating in our Terry Fox Run on Friday. With the rainy weather and the damp ground we made the decision to run inside for safety reasons to ensure everyone had good footing. Students took turns running in a track around the gymnasium pushing themselves for the run for cancer. Thanks for your donations that we are still accepting and will continue to accept on our donations page.
Weather
We want to remind everyone to dress for the weather each and every day. There are many research studies that indicate the importance of students being outside and getting fresh air. Students will have indoor recess and indoor lunch on blue days where the temperature is below -20 degrees Celsius, there is thunder or lightning, or the Air Quality index is above 7. Otherwise, students will be going outside to increase their capacity to learn. Please see the CBE’s guidelines we follow in the following document.
Picture Day
Fall picture day is upcoming on October 7, all students should be dressed in their formal uniform for the day. We are also looking for a few volunteers to help out that day to make the process go as smoothly as possible. If you have your volunteer clearance and are interested in helping, please send an email to Darren Toews (who is in for Taelor Nixon for September) datoews@cbe.ab.ca and identify if you are available in the AM (9:00 am – 12:30 pm), PM (1:00 pm – 3:30 pm) or both.
School Council
There will be an online school council meeting on Wednesday, September 25 at 6:30. A reminder and ink will be sent out to all our parents and guardians the day of the meeting. All parents and guardians are encouraged to attend and get firsthand information about all the great learning opportunities at Glamorgan School.
School Council News
Glamorgan School Council is super excited to set up a Parents/ Guardians List for each classroom to help make our school community stronger.
This class directory will help in coordinating amongst parents/guardians for special days and events, answer any questions or help with organizing events out of the class, such as birthday parties and playdates. When we had this program two years ago, some classes set up WhatsApp groups and others email directories.
Opting in this directory is completely voluntary and all information will only be shared with the other parents in the same class.
Please visit the link: https://tinyurl.com/GlamorganClassParents to become a part of the list.
Physical Education
