SLT Parent Input Request
Do you have a question, comment, or concern? Let your SLT know here on this form. We will review the input in advance of each meeting. Your voice as Glennwood families matters to us!
Hello Glennwood Families,
I know everyone is looking forward to winter break next week. I hope you all have a safe and wonderful time with family and friends.
Tomorrow we will be kicking off our February Black History Month celebration with our 6th Annual African American Read-In. Our very special guest author and illustrator is the award-winning Vashti Harrison. We are so lucky to have the opportunity for her to visit our school and share this important and enriching experience with our students. Thank you so much to our PTA for co-sponsoring this event.
We were fortunate to have some of our district leaders here at Glennwood today. They check in at all of our schools throughout the year and spend time meeting and chatting with our staff and students. Your child may have been selected to be in a small group to share about our school. We enjoy having our colleagues here to see all of the wonderful things that are happening at Glennwood!
The last Community Circle of the month is on February 28. Our second grade students will be presenting an engaging Black History Month presentation. They are currently working very hard on their projects, so I hope you will make plans to attend.
Have a great break!

Tour deCatur Registration is Open!
Get ready, get set, get registered for Decatur Education Foundation's 23rd annual Tour deCatur! Sign up at www.tourdecatur.com!
The fun happens on Saturday, March 15, at the Decatur High School stadium. This year, in addition to the 5k (a Peachtree qualifier), the 1-Mile Fun Run, and the adorable Tot Trot (for our friends ages four and under), DEF is offering a "None-Run" for anyone who wants to support Decatur kids without breaking a sweat! This is DEF's largest fundraiser and supports programs and initiatives that remove obstacles, provide opportunities, support educators, and strengthen the Decatur community!
To prepare for the race, all K-2 elementary schools in the district are participating in the iRun program, which teaches students the fundamentals of fitness skills that make running, jogging, and walking enjoyable and safe and prepares them to run the one-mile fun run in March. For more information about DEF's initiatives and how you can get involved, please visit www.decatureducationfoundation.org.
