Tiger Trot is a special day filled with fun, team-building activities that strengthen classroom and schoolwide community. Students will practice important skills like kindness, empathy, and collaboration—all while supporting our school!

This year, our goals are:

100% student participation (any donation amount counts!)
$18,000 schoolwide to fund activities and enrichment opportunities all year long.

Every contribution makes a difference and helps us continue to create meaningful experiences for our students.

Students have continued to learn about the different PAX kernels to support Choosing Kind at Glacier Ridge.

PAX Hands and Feet is a concept that helps students understand and practice expectations for their hands and feet at different locations and situations in school. For example, students discuss what it looks like and sounds like to walk calmly, quietly, and safely in the hallways.

PAX Tootle Notes support a classroom culture of peer recognition and gratitude. Students have learned that tootles are the opposite of tattles. Tootle notes are used to write positive messages that acknowledge kindness, helpfulness, or show appreciation. Staff can write tootles to students and students write tootles to each other.

Is your child enrolled in an after school activity at GRE? Please be sure your child knows the plan before they leave for school in the morning. Students enrolled in an after school class are dismissed from the classroom at the first dismissal bell and report directly to the assigned location. Your child's safety is our priority so your help in a smooth transition is appreciated.
