Glenridge Middle Community Member
We have a packed community brief this week. I will keep my message short. First, I hope we can get a big crowd out at the soccer field Monday to cheer on our boys as they take on Audubon Park in round two of the playoffs. I would like to thank our PTSA for coordinating with Kelly’s Ice Cream. We had a great turnout after school on Friday. Delicious treats with great friends is a nice way to finish off the week.
Finally, I want to acknowledge our staff and students that have worked so hard in the classrooms especially coming back from the hurricane days. We have done an amazing job of keeping our focus on teaching and learning this year. I am truly honored to lead this group.
In Lion Pride,
Mr. Kempinger
Proud Principal

On Wednesday, October 19, schools across the United States and Canada will acknowledge UNITY DAY. Unity Day is the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month, also celebrated in October. The key message of this month, and this day, is to “Stand together against bullying and be UNITED for kindness, acceptance and inclusion”.
All Lions are invited to wear Orange on Unity Day as we join students and staff across North America doing the same. (Orange is the signature color of Unity Day as orange signifies warmth, safety, visibility and protection.)

Students have been studying Newton’s Laws of Motion. On the day these pictures were taken, Mr. Moreton's science classes had been investigating how buoyant forces act on an object, and calculating the resulting net force. |

Hi! I am a senior at Winter Park High School in the IB program and am working on my CAS project with 4 of my peers. We are planning on doing a Fun Run (similar to a Boosterthon), which we are going to host on the Winter Park High School track.
The concept essentially is money is pledged (could be from a family member, relative, or friend) through our website. The number of laps each person gets to run is based on the amount of money donated, and the winner is provided with a fun prize. Runners will not be limited to the laps they run based on the amount of money they have pledged; they can run as many laps as desired. There is a registration fee, although all proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Our target audience is elementary and middle schoolers with the aim of a fun and active event for kids to participate in, and support the community of veterans in the area!
Thank you in advance for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you soon!
Bridget Gizzi, WPHS Class of 2023
