Here we are almost to mid-December already. So many events have occurred, including the Glenwood Community Christmas Tree Lighting the evening of Dec. 6. Glenwood General Store served hot cocoa to all who attended and it was a very festive night. The Glenwood Station hosted a Christmas movie afternoon for local children. I see lots of people really getting into the spirit of the Glenwood Community Christmas Lights contest. Glenwood’s little uptown area looks so bright and festive at both the Glenwood Station and Glenwood General Store.

The high school boys’ Klickwood team had a home game here in Glenwood on December 9th but this news had to be submitted before game day. I’ll share results later. I have a very good feeling about a great season for them this year. Little Klickwood, the middle school team, will have their only games on the Glenwood court on December 10th with Centerville and December 15th with Bickleton. Both games begin at 5:30 p.m. We only have two Glenwood kids on the team and they would love it if we came out and cheered loudly for them. Good luck, Klickwood and Little Klickwood.

Mark your calendars for some important school events coming up this month. The Christmas concert will take place in the school gym on Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 6:00 p.m. Jenna Blake, a Klickitat high school 2017 graduate, is asking again this year for support from the area communities to help with the annual Christmas toy drive. If you can, please help Jenna make Christmas a little more joyful this year by donating new, unwrapped gifts, coats, shoes, hats, gloves, and other items for children ages birth to 19. Jenna began this annual drive in 2014 and continues it year after year. Thank you for your caring heart, Jenna, and thank you to all who can help. There will be a collection box at the Glenwood school until Dec. 17.
The Glenwood school Christmas dinner will take place Dec. 19, beginning at 10:30 a.m. The homecoming court will be announced and Mr. D. will lead the elementary students in providing some great music. The cost for adults is $5.16. Please contact Mrs. Troh in the school office by Dec. 15 to reserve your dinner(s). This is always a very fun, festive dinner before the students and staff head into the Christmas break.
