The New Year Brings Students Back to In-Person Learning!

It was such an exciting week at Glenbrook with over 200 students and 38 staff members returning to in-person learning.  While the pandemic certainly made things look and feel different, it felt good to have some face to face interaction again.  Students made comments like, "It was so much fun!" I wasn't scared at all!" My favorite comment came in response to a reminder that we have no school on Monday due to the celebration of the great Martin Luther King, Jr.  I was met with a disappointing, "Awww."  I must say, it was great to see students so happy to be back with us!

We do still have nearly 300 students learning online, and want to continue to help them feel equally as welcome to the learning environment.  We miss them too! 

We ended the week with a virtual author's visit sponsored by Anderson's Books. Thank you to Anderson's and to Author Jennifer Holm for sharing your writing tips and your own personal story with us! 

 We'll miss you, Mrs. Chandler

On November 10, 2020, we unexpectedly lost a young, vibrant teacher. Mrs. Chandler passed away without explanation. It's so difficult to lose someone in such a tragic way.  I found this quote today that I thought was befitting.

"There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone the light remains." — Unknown

So, Mrs. Laura Chandler, today, we remember the good times. We thank you for all that you have done for each and every one of us. For your hard work and dedication to Glenbrook, the students, the staff, and your friends.  We love you and will miss you. Until we meet again!
