The Grizzly Update Oct. 9-13 | Volunteers, Picture Day, Well-Being Series

Hello Grizzly Families,

We hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend and that you all are able to enjoy a day with your families tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Here at Glamorgan, we are giving thanks for the wonderful students, staff and community that make our school so great!

Below we have included a few updates/reminders and noted some upcoming important dates. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Learning Commons Volunteers

The Glamorgan Learning Commons (library) is looking for volunteers. If you enjoy books, a library environment, and have some spare time, please email heheronmykyte@cbe.ab.ca.

Picture Day

Fall picture day this past week was a great success with many smiling faces and excellent class photos. Thank you so much to our volunteers who were able to help make the day run as smoothly as possible, we couldn’t have done it without you! For any students who were absent or didn’t get the photo they were looking for we, we will have our ‘Photo Retake’ day on November 6, 2023.

Volunteer Clearance

Last week we shared information with families regarding new updates to our Volunteer Clearance process. We highly encourage everyone who can to complete the process so they can volunteer at school events and activities when they are able to. Please let us know if you have any questions about the process!
