Outdoor Recess
Friendly Reminder: We try to go outside as much as possible (weather permitting!)... next week's forecast is showing colder temperatures on Monday and Tuesday... please ensure your student is dressed appropriately. Also - be sure to put their NAMES on ALL items you send to school (hats, coats, lunchboxes, etc.)!
Jr. Optimist Club Candy Care Candy Drive:
The Glenwood Jr. Optimists are participating in the Annual Delaware county CandyCare Drive again! Please remember to bring in some of your Halloween candy which will be given to the homeless at various local shelters and food pantries, including Life Center Shelters in Delaware County, the West Chester Food Cupboard, Angel Food Pantry, and more. This year we are hoping to make our BIGGEST candy collection ever! No donation is too small, every single piece of candy is truly appreciated! Please drop your candy in the boxes outside the main office. The collection will run through Friday November 21st!
Wall of Honor
Glenwood would love to honor a veteran in your life. Students will all be given stars and are asked to write the name of their veteran(s) on the star. They may also attach a photo (if you would like the picture returned, add your student's name and homeroom teacher on the back). Additional stars are available if needed. Students may then add their star(s) to the Wall of Honor, which is located outside the Library throughout the month of November.
