Glenwood in the News

Earlier this month students at the Glenwood schools helped our neighbors at the Conboy Lake National Wildlife refuge.  The folks at Conboy were having an open house to show off their new and improved compound and other offerings.  Our students made several trips to the refuge in preparation for the open house to take hikes, draw wildlife and write poems.  Our artwork was shared at the open house to rave reviews!  We even had students dress in period clothing and share soup and biscuits that were made by our students.  Finally, some students are working on a student film about the Whitcomb - Cole cabin using resources from the original historian on the project.  We would like to thank Shannon and the rest of the crew who helped bring us out to the Refuge.

We would also like to share this link from Terry Richard. (Click on his name)  He is a journalist that covered the Open House at the Refuge.  It has a lot of information about the Refuge and our area so check it out!

Middle School Community Job Shadows

Presentation on what goes on at the BIA offices in Glenwood.

The Middle School students had the opportunity to explore some of the local businesses as part of our advisory program.  The students went to the Mt Adams Lodge at the Flying L Ranch and the Bureau of Indian Affairs offices here in Glenwood.  At each local business we had presenters discuss the jobs that they do on a daily basis, their schooling and background, and what subjects in school that helped them most in their current positions.  It was a good opportunity for our students to see what types of jobs are available in our community.  We would like to thank Tim, George and Raylene for hosting us it was a really great morning!

The Leadership Blog

   We are proud to present the Leadership Blog. The Leadership Students are assigned a topic or event, then create a short Write up and send the finished product to the Manager and Co-manager of the blog.
 Hope you enjoy!

Bus Safety Week

This week is School Bus Safety Week: 10/17/11 to 10/21/11. We had an assembly Tuesday morning where our bus drivers explained bus safety. For example, when getting on the bus and need to cross the road wait until the bus driver waves you across.  Another reminder for the students was to stay seated properly and keep your feet out of the walkway.  Another thing the drivers asked the students was to remind their parents about speeding in and out of the school parking lot.  Drivers need to watch for young kids crossing.  We also practiced the bus evacuation just in case there was an accident, and how to call for help using the GPS trackers.

Annuals are now for sale in the office. These are from the 2010 - 2011 school year.  This year we have 3 options for purchase.  The first option is a black and white inside with a color cover.  This is our least expensive option at $5 each.  The next two options offer full color with different binding options.  One option has a spiral binding and the other is stapled.
