We hope you enjoy this time to recharge and connect with family and friends. Thank you for being such an integral part of the Glacier Ridge family!

Our third grade students have been excitedly working on their floats for their GRE parade. Using boxes and a variety of materials, they have been busy being creative and collaborative in their designs. The students will be sharing their floats with the rest of the GRE students next week. Check out their design process in the pictures below!

We love outdoor recess! As temperatures are getting colder, we wanted to share our guidelines for recess:

20 degrees or below with windchill- all recesses will be indoors

21-25 degrees with windchill- lunch recess will be indoors, short recess will be outdoors.

26 degrees with wind chill or warmer- all recesses will be outdoors.

Remind your students to bring their coats, hats, and gloves as the weather gets colder so they can enjoy fresh air!

At Glacier Ridge, we believe in the power of connection — and what better way to Start with Hello than by leading the morning announcements!
