Thank you to all of the volunteers who were able to make our skating week happen. Our students had a phenomenal time on the ice and we certainly could not have done it without you!

Minecraft Club Returns!

It's back! We will be starting up the Glamorgan Minecraft Club online from home on Tuesday, February 27 from 5-5:45pm.   We will meet online using Google Meet on Tuesdays until April (spring break interrupts a bit of this).  This is for students in grades 1-9.  Please see the attached slide show on how to join the club and get started with Minecraft Education Edition to practice a bit ahead of time if you are new to it.

Donation Request (Lightning Cables)

We are looking for any donations of old working lightning cables families may have lying around for our iPads. We have a number of cords that have been damaged from overuse and are hoping to replace some of them as our Grade 2’s embark on their 12 week coding course through Robogarden. Please send any working lightning cables with your child to the main office.
