Happy Monday! These smiles say it all. 😊

Whether it's a worksheet about worms or just another day learning alongside friends, our students bring so much joy into the classroom.

Moments like this are exactly why we do what we do.

Can a sheet of foil hold a boatload of pennies? Our students set out to find out. 🔬⛴️

In Science Class, Mrs. Hadnott gave students an engineering challenge: design, fold, and test their own foil boats to see how much weight they could hold before sinking. A little science, a little math, and a lot of trial and error.

That's what hands-on learning looks like at Glenwood!

Whether it's catching up with friends or settling into a new lesson, our junior high students are easing back into the rhythm of the school day.

There's something special about watching our community pick up right where it left off!

Before our students walked through the doors this year, our staff spent the day getting ready together. 🍎

Planning sessions, team building (that cup stack took real teamwork), and a whole lot of reconnecting kicked off the 2026-2027 school year before campus filled with kids again.

Behind every great school year is a team like this one.

Ask our students about their dreams and get ready to be inspired. ✨

Listen to some Glenwood families talk about goals, gratitude, and what home really means here. Their answers say everything about why we do this work.
We don't just help kids dream big. We help them get there.

A whole lot of hellos from this classroom today! 👋

These smiling, waving faces pretty much sum up how happy our students are to be back on campus. New year, new backpacks, same Glenwood joy.

We can't wait to see everything this class accomplishes this year.

One week down and it already feels like we never left! 🎒

From new pencil boxes to jump rope drills in the gym, our students eased right back into the swing of things this week. Press play for a quick look at what the first week of the 2026-2027 school year looked like around campus: familiar faces, full classrooms, and a whole lot of energy.

Here's to a great year ahead, Glenwood!
