A
Message from Mr. Crankshaw
It
is hard to believe that September has come and gone!
What an exciting month it was! The addition of two new
dynamic teachers this year, refreshed staff and
students, updated technology, a beautifully maintained
building and grounds, and healthy teambuilding with the
great family community of Glebe Street Elementary School
will make this a constructive and positive learning year
for children. I maintain that we have the finest
children in the world at Glebe Street Elementary
School! Our staff is consummately professional and
highly experienced in their field, The curriculum that
we teach here is carefully designed, and leads the
children on a highly visible path to success.
During September we have addressed several important
things at Glebe. Among them were (and will continue
throughout the year):
-
appropriate behaviors for learning
-
attributes of a positive school environment
-
the
importance of pride and trust, while learning
-
maintaining general traits of excellent character.
We
are continuing a few new programs this year with the
purpose of giving more responsibility to our
intermediate students, as we continue to develop and
evolve the programs that we put in place over the past
two years. A strong PTA will help to provide the
support for our children in activities and programs that
augment our curriculum, but so important to holistic
education. We are also partnering with the PTA to
provide enrichment opportunities for all students, as
well as community agencies to address our student’s
social and emotional needs.
My thanks go out to our fine staff, Mrs. Ermie (my right
and left hand), our nurse, counselors, custodians,
cafeteria workers, lunch and recess supervision staff,
aides, and teachers for a superb beginning. I hope that
you can sense our excitement and devotion to the
children of Glebe Street Elementary School! They are
the reason we are all here. Cheers for a great October
month!
