Fill the Pantry Food Drive | November 9–December 17

It's time to come together and give back to our community!

Glamorgan School will be hosting a Fill the Pantry Food Drive from November 9 to December 17, and we encourage all families to participate by donating non-perishable food items to support those in need.

A Little Friendly Competition!

The class that collects the most donated items will win a Hot Chocolate Party!

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping us spread kindness and support our community this holiday season!

School Zone Safety | Please Report Unsafe Traffic

We continue to receive reports from parents and community members about unsafe driving behaviours around our school.

These include:

  • Parking in crosswalks
  • Ignoring traffic signs
  • Making unsafe U-turns
  • Other unsafe driving behaviours in the school zone

These actions jeopardize the safety of our students, families, and community members.

It is everyone's responsibility to follow the rules of the road, especially in school zones.

How to Report Unsafe Driving

We ask families to report unsafe driving behaviours in our school zone through the City of Calgary's traffic service request system.

Report Unsafe Traffic — Calgary Police Service

The more reports Calgary Police receive, the more likely they are to increase patrols in the area.

Please remember to:

  • Slow down in school zones.
  • Obey all traffic signs.
  • Follow traffic laws.
  • Watch carefully for pedestrians and students.

It takes everyone working together to keep our students safe.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue.
