Yesterday, our Glen Lake Middle School choir members participated in a Choir Festival, showcasing their musical talent, receiving valuable feedback, and striving for a chance to advance to the State Festival! Our choir students represented the Glen Lake community with pride, displaying respect, dedication, and exceptional musicality.
We’re thrilled to announce that they achieved the highest score of the morning, earning them a well-deserved spot at the State Festival!
Congratulations to our talented students and our own Mr. Rob Stow!
Just a reminder that Glen Lake Middle School will hold a Student Robotic League meeting tomorrow after school @ 3:30 PM in Mr. Smith's Room. This meeting is for any middle school student and/or parent who wants to learn more about this wonderful after school opportunity forour students.
The Student Robotic League puts students in small teams (1-3 Students) to create, build, program, problem solve and print using our 3D printers. All in the realm of fun building 'Battle Bots.' Ask your child about Battle bots and the fun we have had for many years battling others!

The Middle School and High School choirs spent today caroling and spreading Holiday cheer around the county nursing homes!
Our Middle School students made a little Holiday Cheer today with our Holiday Market provided by our incredible partners, LIFT (Leelanau Investing For Teens). Each student decided on what craft they would make for a friend or family member, decorated handmade cards, and wrapped their items while sipping on some Hot Cocoa! Half our students went today and the other half will have time tomorrow.
Thank you to Stefanie Murphy, Glen Lake LIFT Coordinator and all her helpers to make this a wonderful experience for our young adolescents.
Holiday cheer in full swing! 🎁 Our amazing PTO and parent volunteers are helping students pick and wrap the perfect gifts for their loved ones at the Holiday Bazaar. Thank you for making this season so special!
The PTO meeting that had been scheduled for tonight, 12/16/24, has been canceled. We will see you at the next PTO meeting on January 27, 2025!
Our current Community Connections class of 8th graders participated in holiday cheer. They volunteered this afternoon setting up the Holiday Needs Gift Program in Lake Leelanau. A program that provides gifts and more to families in need this holiday season. Thank you Mrs. Vasquez for setting up these valuable learning experiences for our students.
