CURRENT EVENTS

 Souper Bowl Canned Food Drive

The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots have advanced to the Super Bowl LX. That means it’s time for Glenwood's 8th Annual Souper Bowl. Let’s tackle hunger by providing a warm bowl of soup to those in need. We are collecting high protein, hearty soups and high protein canned items such as tuna, chicken, and beans. Students can bring their donations to the office and place them on the table of their favorite team. Cans will be counted and we will see if our Gators accurately pick the game winner. Who will be the Glenwood fan favorite?  

Drive ends Friday, February 6.  Please, NO GLASS or expired items.

Car Line Collections: Jan. 30th and Feb 6th. Also Feb 6th, children can show their team spirit by wearing their favorite team's colors

Your child will come to the library on a special selection day in the spring and choose a book from the collection. A special book plate with your child's name will be placed in the book to identify the donation for years to come. You may donate any amount (minimum suggested amount is $15). All donations are used to purchase books for the Glenwood Library. Registration closes January 30th.

 Fractured Fairy Tales

In this reader's theater workshop, our 3rd graders explore the art of story-telling and performance by juxtaposing traditional fairy tales and humorous versions with unexpected twists. At the end of the residency, parents are invited to watch their child's class perform a reading of both the traditional and "fractured" versions, full of both dramatic and comic takes, which is sure to delight!
