The Greatest of Support!!!!

So many of our supports came out to assist and encourage us this week.  We saw our community come together in many ways to celebrate and honor our school, staff and students.  Take a look at the wonderful people that surround us at Glenbrook.

Mrs. Niemeier is retiring after 38 years of teaching orchestra in School District U-46. The staff and students will miss her greatly!  Many former students and colleagues came out to to see her conduct her final concert and hear the last song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow."  It was a heartwarming performance musicians! We will miss you Mrs. Niemeier!!!

 Mr. Antoshin continually amazes us at with the professional sound that his students are able to acquire in such a short about of time. Thanks to the parents who came out to support  their students for the final band concert for the 2015-2016 school year and thanks to Mr. Antoshin for all of his inspiration! Excellent performance musicians!

Each spring we hold a Family Reading Night and Book Fair. This time our 6th graders decided to "Lead the Way" and host the event!  They planned story sessions that involved reading and craft projects for other students in the school.  This was a great way to work on their own speaking, listening and presentation skills while helping our younger students practice their own reading, writing and listening skills.  What a fabulous job they did and it was a great night too! A big thank you to our PTA who supplied pizza, supplies and ran the book fair.  

 

                

On Wednesday former Glenbrook Parent and Comcast representative Mrs. Debra Marton came to our school as the "Principal for a Day."  She worked very hard reading to students, talking about the importance of school, jobs and working in the community.  The students loved asking her questions and hearing all about her career at Comcast.  

Thanks to Matt of Wheaton Bible Church and Pastor Will from the Future Tri-Village Community Church, along with their members. We were chosen for a community service project for Community Care Days!  About 40 church members came out and beautified our school grounds.  Take a look  and see for yourself. What a great community partner we have!
