Our Week at a Glance email is sent out once a week with the intent to provide you with the most up to date information with what is happening at Glenbrook School.

Winter is upon us! With the snow last night and today, it is feeling like we have all the seasonal feels in place! Every time it snows, I am reminded of the power of nature and that while we do not have control over the snow (timing, amount etc.) we do have control over how we embrace the experience. This morning as I looked at the ‘treetops glistening’ in my backyard, I was struck by the beauty of the snow. Overnight our environment was trans- formed into a winter wonderland. There is just something about the change in sound, the muted silence that a blanket of snow provides that makes it feels like we have been trans- ported. We hope you all enjoy the snow and take some time to experience the joy that it can bring. Stay warm and stay safe out there.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
