Glenwood Elementary School

We gathered together before Thanksgiving Break to celebrate the fall holidays with readings and a school-wide song along.

The Caring Kids 13th annual holiday gift drive is underway. Please help them support the families of the New Jersey Regional Day School and the Center for Autism in Newark. If you would like to sponsor someone and provide them with gifts for the holidays, or if you need more information, please email Sharon Cohen at sharonmcohen2@gmail.com. They are also collecting Shoprite and Walmart gift cards to help the families with basic necessities. The need this year is greater than ever before.  The annual holiday party is on Saturday, December 16th, from 12-2pm. You may bring the gifts to Hartshorn School for a festive gift-wrapping, card-making, chocolate-treat-dipping celebration. Please help Caring Kids spread our message of changing the world, one kid at a time, by sponsoring someone in need.

All treats no tricks at Glenwood this week! We celebrated Halloween with an annual parade, parties and fun for all.

On Monday our students were treated to an assembly with Mr. Dan Occhiogrosso for Red Ribbon Week. He dribbled balls and did tricks while discussing Substance Abuse Prevention, Anti-Bullying, Goal Setting / Achieving Dreams, Self-esteem and Physical Fitness. The presentation was sponsored by MMAC. Ask your children about it!

Reminder: There is a delayed opening for students tomorrow. All schools open two hours later than usual for Staff Development. Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Ball in the House performed a cappella during today's assembly. Students learned about making music using just the voice and technology.

We are excited to announce the new app for Millburn Schools! It's everything Millburn Schools, in your pocket. Available to all in the community. Download the app in your device's App store - search Millburn Schools. Or use the QR codes here.
