March 2020 ❖ Newsletter #7R.O.A.R. with Respect, an Open Mind, an Awesome Attitude, and Responsibility

Good day all our Glenwood families!

February brought a leap day, and March is leaping closer too.

Highlights this March-madness month, need I say, will be our Student-Led Conferences, where we celebrate learning, and our Spring Break, where we celebrate family and general down time.

However, before we can even talk about these exciting events, we have a more exciting event to look forward to: Glenwood’s Rainy Day Carnival… March 6! Thanks to PAC for organizing this fun-filled event. Please, touch base with PAC if you can help out!

At Glenwood, we not only celebrate academic learning, but we believe Social Emotional Learning is the basis of all success.

Please, refer to these websites for interesting and relevant material and information on “3 Simple Skills to Tame Anxiety”

With spring break, we know our students will hopefully get enough sleep as those early mornings will be on hold for a while. An interesting read in this regard: https://www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/articles/good-sleep-habits-10-tips-children

Have a wonderful break and thank you for your continued support.

Anelma Brown, Principal
