Message from the Principal
Dear John Glenn Families,
Reminder that today, Friday, May 31st and Wednesday, June 5th (last day of school) are 2-hour early dismissals.
This will be the last family memo of the school year--I can hardly believe it! I want to thank you for your support, involvement, and most of all, for sharing your wonderful children with us. The people at this school--students, staff, and families--are second to none. Thank you for being you, and for raising amazing kids. Glenn family forever!
Our End-of-Year Recognition Assembly is at 8:30 Tuesday morning in our gym. Families are welcome. Lancer Leaders, Physical Fitness Award recipients, Student Council members, Lunch and Shed Helpers, and participants in the Spelling Bee, Battle of the Books, Mock Trial, and Math Bee will be recognized.
6th Grade Graduation is at 9:00 Wednesday morning on the blacktop. Families are welcome and should bring their own chairs.
Glenn Olympics will begin at 10:30 Wednesday morning at outside stations around the school. Families are welcome to attend (younger siblings, too!) and should bring their own chairs. If you plan on taking your student home prior to 1:05 on the last day, please communicate directly with the teacher rather than the office.
I hope you have a wonderful summer and make lots of memories with family. As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Erin Paysen, Principal

Lego League
John Glenn will offer Lego League next school year for grades 2-6. Looking ahead, I would like to order materials this summer so we can get a head start on the season. I know there is a lot going on with the last day of school, but please consider filling out the google form to indicate interest in Lego League for next school year. You are not bound to this commitment. If you or your child changes your mind come fall, no big deal. I just want to have an idea of our numbers for next year.
Thank you and have an incredible summer.
Angie Clayton, AS/JG Lego League Advisor
