Message to our Glenwood Springs Grizzlies!

Hey Grizzlies! As November rolls in and the weather gets crisp, here is a fun fact for the season: Did you know that during November, grizzly bears enter a state called hyperphagia to prepare for winter hibernation? Right before settling in for their long sleep, they can eat up to 20,000 calories a day, equivalent to eating roughly 40 double cheeseburgers every single day!

Mark Your Calendars, Grizzly Families!

Friday, Nov 6: Student Holiday! Enjoy the day off, Grizzlies! No school for students!

Tuesday, Nov 17: Picture Retake Day! Bring those big smiles! Last chance for school photos!

Tuesday, Nov 17: Thanksgiving School Lunch! Join us for a delicious festive feast!

Nov 23 – Nov 27: Thanksgiving Break! No school all week. Rest up and enjoy time with family!

With Grizzly Pride,

Jenny Martinez - Bilingual Attendance Specialist & Lead Communications. ext 7911

GSES Vision, Mission & Habits

VISION

At GSES, we create a joyful school community where every child feels a sense of belonging, embraces new challenges, and discovers their unique strengths.

MISSION

At GSES, we empower students to grow as caring, confident, and thoughtful learners through engaging academics, meaningful relationships, bilingual experiences, and opportunities for adventure and discovery.

Habits

At GSES, we know that good habits help students learn, grow, and succeed. Our five habits encourage students to do their best work, make positive choices, and be their best selves every day.

Our five habits provide a foundation for learning, growth, and positive relationships throughout our school community:

Enthusiasm and Wonder – I approach learning with excitement, curiosity, and an open mind.

Teamwork – I collaborate with others, contribute positively, and work together toward shared goals.

Compassion – I show kindness, empathy, and respect for myself and those around me.

Responsibility – I make thoughtful choices, follow through on commitments, and take ownership of my actions.

Determination – I persevere through challenges, continue learning from mistakes, and keep working toward success.
