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:
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
