Good morning Grizzly Families! 

This past week at Glamorgan was quiet as students and staff enjoyed the winter break, cherishing time with loved ones during the final days of 2024. We hope everyone had a wonderful time at home with their families and took advantage of the warm temperatures!

Please see below for some important updates, upcoming dates, and dates of significance.
