The Gator Global Gala is Glenwood's celebration of our rich cultural diversity. You are invited to take a journey around the world and stop at each country table to learn about the many cultures that make up our unique Glenwood community. Country tables may offer food, engage in activities or display facts about their heritage. In years past, our gala night has celebrated 20-25 different countries with beautiful clothing, displays and yummy food. For the kids, we make it a fun hands-on experience as they travel from country to country and get stamps in their Glenwood passport. Click HERE for more details.
Come be a part of our global community right here at Glenwood. Sign up for hosting a country table or help with setting up and clean up on the day of the event (click HERE).

THE SIGNATURE PROJECT
An epic work in progress by artist Patrick Dunning, the Signature Project presents art, drama, music, science and nature in a transformative way. The magic of this show is the way Dunning weaves common threads that bind us all together. When completed this enormous artwork will stand 3 stories tall, painted not with brush strokes but with signatures - names signed by hundreds of thousands of people in a spectrum of colors.

earth Dome
Our first graders discover geography on an epic scale! The Earth Dome is a gigantic inflatable earth balloon standing 19-feet high and 22-feet in diameter. The enormous panels are covered with satellite photographs of the surface of Earth. Seeing and understanding Earth as it appears from space, as opposed to painted globes or drawings, is an experience not soon forgotten.

caring kids: visual impairment unit
Visual Impairment: In this interactive program, the children will hear about life as a visually impaired person. Then, parent volunteers will lead students through a variety of activities that help illustrate the challenges faced by the visually impaired. The program emphasizes that while people with disabilities face challenges, they are also able to live happy, independent lives.
3rd grade
Physical Differences: This unit aims to help children better understand the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities. Students participate in a variety of sensitivity exercises that simulate the everyday experiences of people who live with the limited use of their bodies. The goal is to build empathy for people with physical differences and learn to always treat others with respect and dignity.
