"Morning Meeting"
This is a friendly reminder to encourage you child/ren to attend the "Morning Meeting" each day of school.  It is a perfect way to start the day together, gathered in the gym as a Glenwood Family.

Here is what our week looks like:
Mission Monday
the students get a special mission to complete by week's end.
Trivia Tuesday
five trivia questions are asked, ranging from art to science to history.
Book Wednesday
students are encouraged to independently read a book quietly until the meeting begins.
Poetry Thursday
students volunteer to read poetry to the other students.
Joke Friday
students volunteer to tell jokes in front of the students.

Friday is also the day of our "Gladiator Song."  Please encourage your child/ren to wear Glenwood clothes on these days.

Thanks for giving us the Home Field Advantage!
-Coach Johnson

Safety News at Glenwood

During the month of October, Glenwood will be conducting safety drills.  We will have our regular monthly fire drill as well as practicing an evacuation drill.  More information will be coming home with your child/ren soon.

The Kearney Fire Department will visit Glenwood on Tuesday, October 9th to teach the students about fire safety.

We like to have visitors in our building but ask that you call ahead if you plan to eat lunch with your child/ren or visit in the classroom.  Again, we ask that you sign in at that the office and wear a visitor name badge and sign out when leaving.

Glenwood doors are locked between the hours of 8:15 am and 3:05 pm.  Visitors are asked to press the buzzer inside the front door and wait for the door to be unlocked.  Thanks for your understanding the importance of this safety procedure.
