Glenburnie Holiday Newsletter |
Glenburnie Public School Newsletter As we approach the final days before the winter break, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a very busy and joyful time at Glenburnie. The energy in the building over the past several weeks has truly captured the spirit of the season, and that is thanks to the incredible efforts of our school community. School Advisory Council Appreciation A sincere thank you to our School Advisory Council for the wonderful work they have done in our school over the past several weeks organizing fun and meaningful events for our students and families. Your time, creativity, and commitment to Glenburnie Public School are truly appreciated. Volunteer Appreciation I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our parent volunteers who have generously given their time to support activities and events at Glenburnie. Your involvement strengthens our school community and helps create memorable experiences for our students. A special thank you to Kim for her leadership and support in helping to organize Candy Cane Lane — it was a highlight for many of our students. Holiday Spirit Week – December 15–19 We are excited to celebrate Holiday Spirit Week at Glenburnie. Students are invited to participate in any or all of the following themed days: Monday, December 15 Tuesday, December 16 Wednesday, December 17 Thursday, December 18 Friday, December 19 Holiday Concert Thank you to our staff for the time, care, and creativity they have put into preparing our upcoming holiday concert. We look forward to welcoming families on Thursday evening. Doors will open at 5:30 pm, and the performance will begin at 5:45 pm. These performances are always a highlight of the season and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the talents, confidence, and hard work of our students. Food in Our School – Focusing on Learning, Belonging, and Shared Experiences As the holiday season approaches, Glenburnie Public School’s approach to food brought into the school is guided by Limestone District School Board Administrative Procedures and reflects our commitment to student well-being, equity, and high-quality learning environments. During the school day, our priority is learning. To support this, Glenburnie is continuing to move toward celebrations and special events that do not involve food being brought into the classroom. This approach helps maintain consistent routines, protects instructional time, and ensures that all students can participate fully and comfortably in shared experiences. Celebrations that focus on connection rather than food—such as games, performances, creative activities, spirit days, or community-building experiences—support a strong sense of belonging and reflect our values of inclusion, dignity, and equity. These experiences allow every child to feel part of the moment in a meaningful way. Holiday Wishes As we head into the winter break, I would like to wish all of our families a safe, restful, and joyful holiday season. Thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout the year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back and reconnecting in the new year. Warm regards, |
