Hello Glenbrook Families!
“Reconnect: /re·con·nect/: to connect again; to re-establish a bond of communication or emotion”
This week, we had the privilege of witnessing the beauty of reconnection. There was a special energy in the air as our school community came back together for a full week of learning.
There is power in coming back together. Relationships are at the heart of our well-being, and reconnection helps restore our sense of belonging. Each renewed friendship, each shared moment, strengthens the bonds that make our community whole.
As we settle back into our routines, let’s take time to celebrate both the old and the new reconnecting with those we’ve missed and reaching out to form new connections. Ask your child(ren) who they reconnected with this week or who they reached out to for the first time. Together, we can continue to grow a community that supports, understands, and uplifts one another. We are so appreciative for all our Glenbrook families today more than ever. Wishing you all a fun filled weekend ahead and an excellent fall break. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Thursday, November 13.
Take care,
Cindy & Tracey
Weekly Wonder
How will you re-connect?
Little Free Library
We would like to thank our students, William and Sam and their Grandfather for working together to build a door for our Little Free Library. Last year the door was vandalized and broken, and we could not replace it. The books inside were getting wet and destroyed during the winter weather. Our students noticed that a door was missing and then they took the initiative and worked on the project to replace it. It showed kindness, empathy and initiative and it is a great example of a Glenbrook Grizzly.
Thank you so much to them for helping our school.
If you would like to fill it with books, please fill it with children's books so that students can find books at their level to read
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.
To view the online store at: https://rm-apparel.square.site/
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!!
