Dear Grizzly Families,

February is shaping up to be an exciting month here at Glacier Peak! We’ve got some fantastic events on the horizon that we can’t wait to share with you:

• Our first-ever musical, Frozen! ❄️ Join us as our talented students take the stage and bring this magical story to life.
• Student-led conferences are coming up! This is a wonderful chance for your child to shine by sharing their growth and goals with you.
• Donuts with Grown-ups is the perfect way to start the day with some breakfast fun and great company.
• Schoolwide Reading Fun! We are diving into the classic Because of Winn-Dixie as part of our reading focus this month. Ask your student about the story—we hope it sparks meaningful conversations at home!

Thank you for your continued support in making Glacier Peak a place of learning, creativity, and connection. We look forward to seeing you at these events and celebrating all the amazing things happening at our school!

Warm wishes,

Jeanna Costa

Principal

Grizzly parents, we need your help to keep our Hug & Go lane safe, efficient, and stress-free for everyone! 🐾

Here’s how you can help:

• Pull ALL the way up, past the stairs! This allows more cars to enter the lane and safely release students.
• Stay in your car. Parents must remain in the vehicle to keep traffic flowing smoothly.
• Be ready to roll! Have your students prepared with backpacks, coats, and anything they need to quickly exit the car when you pull up.
• Keep it moving. Once your student is out of the car, please proceed forward so others can drop off safely.

Additional Reminders:

• Use crosswalks. If you need to park and walk your student in, always use the designated crosswalks for everyone’s safety.
• Plan ahead. Arrive a few minutes earlier to avoid last-minute rushing.
• No double parking. For safety reasons, cars should not stop or unload in the passing lane.

Your cooperation ensures the safety of all our Grizzlies and helps us start the day on a positive note. Thank you for doing your part to make mornings smooth and safe!

Our February conferences are right around the corner, and this time, the spotlight is on your students! These student-led conferences are an opportunity for them to proudly share their growth, accomplishments, and all the amazing things they've been working on. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate their hard work together!

👉 Click here to sign up for your conference time.

Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have been working hard on Frozen Kids, and we’d love your support to make it a success!

Performance Dates:

• Thursday, February 6
• Friday, February 7
• Doors open at 6:45 PM, show starts at 7:00 PM

There will be a daytime performance for students and staff, but the kids and I would love to see you at an evening show if you can make it!

We could also use some extra hands to keep things running smoothly. If you’re available, here are some ways to help:

• Backstage Help – Keeping students organized and assisting with costume changes
• Hair – Helping performers get stage-ready
• Front of House – Greeting guests, ushering, and managing programs
• Post-Show Cleanup – Resetting the gym after performances

If you’re able to volunteer, please sign up here: Volunteer Sign-Up Link.

Even if you can’t help backstage, we’d love to have you in the audience! If you plan to attend, please RSVP here: Frozen Kids RSVP Form.

Thank you for supporting our students—it means so much to them (and to me)!

Best,
Ann

Brrr….. It is that time of year for jackets, hoodies, and coats. If possible, please put your students name on any of these items. This also includes lunch boxes and water bottles. When students go outside for recess these items get left behind and are put into lost & found. We would like all items to be returned to their owners. Thank you for your help with this.

Join us in a yearlong effort to support children in need! Collect tin can tabs at home and bring them to school anytime. Every gallon jug we fill provides a free treatment for a child at Children's Hospital. Collection containers are available near the front door and in the cafeteria. Let’s see how much kindness we can gather this year!

Please encourage friends and family from far and wide to put Glacier Peak Elementary as their King Soopers/CityMarket group.

Easy way to help us raise money! Help raise thousands of dollars just by shopping for the things you were already going to buy. If you shop at King Soopers or City Market link your account to Glacier Peak Elementary Community Rewards program.
