Glade Spring Middle School

Don’t forget!!! This Saturday Night!!!!

Spanish students have been learning about the country of Mexico and its national holiday, Dia de los Muertos which begins at midnight on Oct 31 and lasts until Nov 02. This is a Mexican holiday that was started by the Aztecs and dates back 3000 years ago. Students celebrated on the actual day with a fiesta that included traditional food such as pan de muerto and authentic Mexican fare such as tacos durados. Sofia Belcher made the traditional bread, "Pan de Muerto" from scratch and Javier Ornate brought in homemade tacos durados to share with the class. .

Good afternoon, We were all heartbroken when we learned that Cameron Craig had lost his life in the line of duty as a local Firefighter. The services to honor his sacrifice will occur on Wednesday afternoon and the procession will have a tremendous impact on traffic in our community. In order to honor Cameron's ultimate sacrifice and to ensure that our buses and car traffic do not interfere with the procession, all Washington County Public Schools will dismiss 2 hours early on Wednesday, October 25. Childcare will be available at all middle and elementary schools for working families who need that service. Each school will provide individual details prior to Wednesday. Thank you for your understanding. We know you join us in loving, supporting, and praying for everyone involved. Thank you, Keith Perrigan, Ed.D. Superintendent Washington County Public Schools
