NFL Spirit Day
Football season is here! This Wednesday, October 14, 2020, celebrate NFL Spirit Day. Have your child(ren) show their team spirit by wearing their team colors during their MS Teams classes! Glebe shows its spirit even when we are virtual!
Rhyme & Cheese
Rhyme & CheeseSave the date for Rhyme & Cheese on October 27, 2020. This event will be hosted by the PTA over Zoom. Rhyme & Cheese celebrates Glebe students’ own writing in the hopes that it will encourage a love and excitement for the craft by all who participate and come to listen. The student will share their own original writing with the Glebe community in a relaxed atmosphere and hopefully learn to love (or at least get comfortable) speaking in front of others. More information and a link to sign up are forthcoming.
