Career Day
Each year a Career Day is held at Glen Haven. During this motivational day, family and community volunteers from many different types of careers are invited to speak in classrooms about their professions.
Academic Nights
Students and families participate in activities at one of the centers set up throughout the building. This successful event includes hands-on activities in Reading and Math. Academic Nights are held at Glen Haven in the Fall and in the Spring.

Each spring a science fair is held to highlight learning in science and the integration of mathematics. Students decide upon a question, research information, conduct an investigation and communicate their findings of the investigation. The investigation projects are displayed at an evening festival.
