The Grizzly Update: Dec. 2 – 6
Good afternoon Grizzly Families!
This week at Glamorgan, our students had the chance to shine in two exciting events: Our first Principal Advisory Council meeting and our very first official Science Fair. Over 80 students enthusiastically attended the Science Fair meeting, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see the innovative projects they’ll bring to life!
Please see below for some important updates, upcoming dates, and dates of significance. We wish everyone a wonderful long weekend with their families.
Winter Festival and Winter Concert at Glamorgan
As a reminder, we sent out information last week regarding the upcoming Winter Festival as well as the Grade 6-9 Band Concert. As mentioned, we’re thrilled to invite you to two exciting events this December! Join us for the Winter Festival on December 12, 2024, a celebration for all Kindergarten to Grade 5 students. Then, mark your calendars for the Grade 6 to 9 Band Concert on December 19, 2024, where our talented students will take the stage. We warmly welcome all families to attend and be part of these joyful winter festivities!
