'Tis the season for generosity! This year, a total of $2,600 was donated by all the buildings for the Love Tree initiative. Last week, West Principal Kara Huisman and Northeast Principal Ashlie Salazar personally delivered the collected funds. The generous donation was contributed by the dedicated staff members from each building within the Glenwood Community School District. The Love Tree project is dedicated to providing holiday gifts to families in the local community.

Last week, the 4th-grade math teachers did a construction day in which the kids dressed up as construction workers. They were tasked with measuring objects in our classrooms and the hallway to determine the area using multiplication strategies. Thanks to Mrs. VanNess for writing a grant and being one of the winners of the Glenwood Community School Foundation Grant so we were able to make this day possible!

Mrs. Shamani Langille took 19 GCMS Talented and Gifted (TAG) students to compete in the Lynx Robotics Battle in the Bluffs at Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs. All GCMS teams competed in 16 qualification matches. Two teams went to the Quarterfinals. One team made it to the Semifinals! This was their first robotics tournament. They had an alliance with students from Iowa School for the Deaf, so communicated through a sign interpreter.
The students are excited to continue to work this robotics season. They continue to improve their coding skills, engineering notebooks, and strategies to help them improve their driving skills. They will employ the use of sensors for their upcoming tournaments in January.
Students overcame challenges in the tournament and had a lot of fun! It was a fun filled day for our students and families!
