Other Extracurricular Activities of Note
Glashan has a very successful competitive math team. Two teams, coached by Miss Sarah Roberts finished 1st and 2nd in the regional Math Olympics competition in April 2008, defeating many other strong teams from local schools, such as Bridlewood and Greenbank. Both teams qualified for the provincial event in May. The team that finished first in the regional competition finished 6th, and the other Glashan team won the provincial title, Glashan's first ever at this competition. On the 25th of April, 2009, Glashan's Math Olympics team took first place again, for the second year in a row. The team won all four team events, the first time this has happened in the history of the competition. The other team, however, did not do as well and did not qualify for the provincial event.
Glashan's technology team, coached by Mr. Jeff Griesbach, has done quite well in both regional and provincial events over the past few years. Last year the robotics and constructions teams came in 3rd place at a provincial tournament hosted at Waterloo University.
Glashan recently made a wonderful play called Law and Order: Fairy Tale Unit, in this play the Three Little Pigs have their houses blown down. The big bad wolf is the first suspect but then the pigs confess that they committed insurance fraud. The audience simply adored the play and often utilized words such as hilarious and creative to describe the play.

Famous quotes containing the words activities and/or note:
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“In our Mechanics’ Fair, there must be not only bridges, ploughs, carpenter’s planes, and baking troughs, but also some few finer instruments,—rain-gauges, thermometers, and telescopes; and in society, besides farmers, sailors, and weavers, there must be a few persons of purer fire kept specially as gauges and meters of character; persons of a fine, detecting instinct, who note the smallest accumulations of wit and feeling in the bystander.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
