Seven Sacred Teachings - Respect

Next week, students in Kindergarten to Grade 6 will be learning about Respect through the lens of the Seven Sacred Teachings, which are foundational Indigenous teachings that guide how we live in relationship with ourselves, others, and the world around us. The Seven Sacred Teachings (Love, Respect, Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility, and Truth) help our students understand the importance of kindness, empathy, and responsibility. Through age-appropriate discussions, stories, and classroom activities, students will explore what respect looks like in their words and actions, how it connects to caring for others and the environment, and how it helps build safe, inclusive, and welcoming classrooms for everyone.

Glenbrook Swag

Check out our school-themed merchandise and show your school pride.

We are excited to announce that our school's online apparel story is up and running!  Students were involved in choosing colors and designing the new logo for our Glenbrook Grizzlies.

Once on the RM Apparel screen, select the Glenbrook Grizzlies icon and you will be able to select and order your school gear. Items range from T-shirts to hoodies to hats and sweatpants. 

All items are ordered directly from the online store and delivered to the school for distribution.

We can't wait to see all the new school gear in the school hallways!

Grizzlies Handbell Band

Student volunteers in Grades 4, 5 and 6 have begun learning proper technique for handbells in the Grizzlies Handbell Band during Wednesday lunches.  We are looking forward to performing for the school community in the Spring!

School Council Message

Thank you to parents, students and caregivers for your great work in raising close to $2500 to put towards our playground revitalization project. For everyone who helped organize the fundraisers and coordinate distribution, your help is greatly appreciated.  Our next parent council meeting is on January 19 at 7:00PM. We will be meeting virtually so if you are interested in learning more about your school, helping with upcoming fundraisers or the playground committee the council meetings are a great way to get involved. We hope to see you there!
