Good afternoon Grizzly Families!

We had an exciting week here at Glamorgan School. Our soccer teams both wrapped up their seasons with tight games, our debate team participated in their first competition and our Grade 5 to 9 students had the opportunity to learn, practice and enjoy cricket with Future Cricket Stars Academy! Thank you to all of the student who participated, the teachers who organized these amazing activities and volunteered their time and energy to coach, and to the families for all of your support!

Please see below for some important updates, upcoming dates, and dates of significance. We wish everyone a wonderful weekend with their families.

Halloween will continue to be a day of learning at Glamorgan School. Students are welcome to wear their costumes. We encourage students to wear their costume over their regular clothes or bring a change of clothes in the event that they become uncomfortable or find that it interferes with their activities like Physical Education or outdoor play. The guidelines for costumes are:

No weapons.
No masks - faces must be visible.
No fake blood/gore with Halloween face makeup
All costumes should be culturally sensitive to all religions and races
Wear at your own risk, the school is not responsible for lost costume pieces or any damages, please talk with your students about remembering to bring all their costume pieces home with them for the evening as the school will be closed at 4:30pm
