Happy Sunday, Grizzly Families!

This week our students engaged in meaningful learning and dialogue around Orange Shirt Day, reflecting on the importance of truth, reconciliation, and honouring the experiences of residential school survivors. Many classes also participated in a classroom quilt project, where students created pieces to represent who they are and what family means to them. These activities were a powerful way to build understanding and empathy within our school community.

To finish the week, our first Be You Day was a great success. It was so nice to see our students express their individuality and celebrate what makes them unique while still being part of our larger school community.

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

Glamorgan Casino Night

Are you looking for a fun and creative way to spend time with your friend or spouse? Do you also want to help your kids by raising money for their school? 

We're here to tell you that there is a place and date where you can enjoy the company of others, and also get TWO FREE MEALS, in the bargain!!! And by showing up to this place, your child can also benefit from new initiatives at the school. Amazing, right?

What are we talking about? It’s the Glamorgan School Casino Event! The Glamorgan School Fundraising Society will be volunteering at the Elbow River Casino on Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11, 2025. All you have to do is sign up, and the rest will be taken care of.

You heard it! Show up for a fun day/night on October 10 or 11, and help bring in $$$ for the school. What a win-win! It’s the best bang for your buck! Or should I say, time!

Imagine… you can be a part of bringing in $60,000 to the school and have a jolly good time while you're at it. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and the money we earn lets us contribute to learning at Glamorgan by funding things like technology, sports equipment, music programming, and art supplies.

The best part is that this casino event has a weekend day (Saturday). 

Anyone can volunteer. Extended family and friends are welcome. No police clearance required. No experience or qualifications required. Other than being older than 18 of course. But let’s face it - if you’re reading this, you already meet that one requirement. And don’t worry, there will be professional advisors to walk you through everything. You won’t even be directly involved in the gaming. Just doing cool things like counting money and bringing chips to the table!

So what are you waiting for? Grab your friends and family, and sign up NOW!
