We have been very busy in our leadership class lately. We have nearly finished the trophy case project that we have been working on most of the year. We have rearranged the trophies, painted the cases, and put very nice granite tiles in the bottom of the cases. And finally, we put mirrors on the sides of the cases that are a great finishing touch! These are now a great showcase piece for our school that will greet visitors when they enter our school. We also reconditioned another case to provide the art classes to show off their artwork that is now located in the commons.

T.A.T.U Training

On Friday, the Glenwood Leadership class attended a Teens Against Tobacco Use (TATU) training in White Salmon, hosted by Colleen Wahto. We learned a lot about tobacco use, and were trained to help the younger generation understand the dangers of tobacco, smokeless or no.

After the training, which included pig lungs, BB, and factual demonstrations, lunch, T shirts, and Mr. Gross Mouth, we went to a park in Bingen to help us deal with being inside all day.

Jan Whitefoot

We had another great visit from the artist Jan Whitefoot based out of Harrah, WA. On Tuesday, March 10th Jan came to our school. She does an amazing job and runs an art clinic for our whole school. She focuses on Native American art. She brought some cedar baskets and beaded bags from her own private collection to share with us. Our students were able to sketch and do water colors. The major project for the high school kids was to create a snake out of a small piece of driftwood. These snakes were brightly painted and incorporated designs that Jan had shown the students. This is a very unique experience for Glenwood schools and fun was had by all!

Skating with the elementary

After the canned food drive, the Leadership class celebrated the ending of an era by pulling out the old school skates and having a Banana Split party! Partnering with Miss Brazil's class, we skated and ate for 50 minutes! For some of us, it had been too long, as you'll see below:
