Lots of things are happening at Glenbrook!

I know the kids are all learning from home, but there is still some activity here at school!  Every morning Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Cervantes, and Mrs. Desario are at school bright and early preparing meals for all of the children.  They serve over 100 kids daily, and have plenty more to go around!  If you haven't heard, thanks to recent funding approval, meals are once again available for all U-46 students 18 years and under each and every day. Breakfast and lunch can be picked up daily from 7:00 am - 10:30 am using curbside pickup at no cost.  Simply drive up and your meals will be placed in your car.  

Stars at Glenbrook!

Do you watch Channel 7 news?  If you do, you may have caught Alvin (A.J.) and Kaitlyn Redmon on the morning news.  How cool is that!  Way to represent Glenbrook kids!

Fun with Distant Learning

This week the learning continues with the addition of art, music, and gym classes.  It was a bit confusing at first, but I think we've got it!  The students did enjoy connecting with Mr. Maegdlin, Mrs. Schmidt, and Mr. DeCoste.  They also enjoyed a bit of science and classroom fun too.  Thanks to parents who sent in photos.

A Big Thank You to

Eagle Scout James Pusilo!

 

Glenbrook is fortunate enough to have found a partner in Eagle Scout James Pusilo, Troop 227. James organized, raised funds, and managed a project to build a Gaga Pit for the students at Glenbrook.  We can not wait for our students to come back to school so we can really enjoy the pit!  A big thank you to James, his parents, and to the entire Boy Scout organization for your hard work and generosity! Our students will enjoy the Gaga Pit for many years to come!

On the last day of the project, the scouts found this special rock which was left for them.  On the back of the rock was the message, "Glenbrook Rocks!"  

Upon completion of the project, the scouts try out the Gaga Pit and play a few games.  

         Congratulations to James Pusilo on the completion of the Gaga Pit, his Eagle Scout Project. 

To learn how to play GaGa Ball, go to:  Game Rules  or watch a game with video rules at Video Rules . Please be sure to take care of the Gaga Pit so it will last a long time, and remember, when you play without school supervision, you play at your own risk. 

The First Day of School/2020-2021

The First Day of School

2020-2021

What a great first day of school we had!  It was a little strange to start our school year with no kids on-site, but nearly all students joined in online bright and early. (Despite the early morning Zoom glitch.)  Thanks to the patience of parents, students, and teachers, by 9:00, all of our classes were up and running.  Thanks also to those parents who shared photos with us.  Take a look at these scholars.  Aren't they amazing!

Mrs. DeRoo and Mrs. Vazquez also sent some welcome videos to the students and their families.  If you didn't get a chance to see them, check them out!  It's a great day to be a Hawk!
