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!
