Walk-a-Thon
Mission Accomplished!
Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer on our Gators at the Walk-a-Thon and then donated in support of Bridges. Thanks to your generous support, we were able to pass our goal, raising $10,000 with 60% overall student participation! Kudos to the top two classes in terms of class participation: Mrs Kusic's class (95%) and Mrs Flynn's class (79%). Both classes have won extra recess and ice pops! In the coming weeks, Glenwood Gators will be decorating and packing 1,000 brown bag lunches which will be distributed by bridges to local people in need The remainder of the funds raised will be donated to Bridges to support their work. Click HERE to learn more about Bridges. Thanks again to all of you for making the 2025 Walk-a-Thon a successful and impactful event for our students!

When: Oct 24 Walk-To-School
Glenwood is celebrating Walk to School Day this Friday, October 24. To mark the occasion, we have organized several "walking buses" led by some parent volunteers. What's a walking bus? A "walking bus" has a predetermined route and timings like a school bus but is instead a group of us walking to school together. Kids who wish to "hop on the bus" just wait along the route and join the group as it walks by! We have five, colour-coded routes: Purple, Orange, Pink, Blue and Green. Please see the route map below or click here to find the route closest to your home. Parents are welcome to join too. We will have some goodies waiting for walkers when they arrive at school. |
