Fourty days of the Fourtieth Year!

15Oct, 2026
Spirit Day is NEXT FRIDAY!
On Friday, October 23, we’ll celebrate our 40th day of school as The Glen marks its 40th year! 🎉
Show your Glen spirit by dressing your child in Glen gear and finding a fun way to celebrate the number 40.
Think about all that can happen in 40 days. Here are some creative ideas to celebrate this number:
- Wear the number 40
- Read or bring a list of 40 favorite books
- Complete 40 acts of kindness
- Say good morning to 40 people
- Bring 40 blueberries (or another collection of 40 small items)
- Do 40 jumps, hops, or skips
- Draw 40 hearts, stars, or flowers
- Wear 40 stickers
- Dress like you’re 40 years old (with your Glen Montessori gear, of course!)
- Share 40 things you love about The Glen
For a Montessori twist, ask your child how they would represent 40 using Montessori materials:
- 4 Ten Bars
- Stamp Game
- Golden Beads
- Bead Chains
- Skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s
As we celebrate 40 days of learning and 40 years of inspiring children, we look forward to seeing all the creative ways our students bring the number 40 to life!
