Spring trip has come and gone. Hundreds of students packed up their bags, polished their instruments, and boarded a bus to Virginia. Two days later they returned, arms laden with trophies after a Glenelg sweep in every category.

The return of the performers echoes throughout the building. The hallways fill once again with the scattering of music and liveliness associated with the performing wing. Follow the framed trails of color and creativity through the halls, and the chaos tapers out, fading into a focused hush, broken only by the whisper of brushes and scratch of pencils against paper.

The lights dim, the music starts, and months of hard work come together on stage. At Glenelg High School, the dance department’s performances are far more than just four shows per year; they are examples of dedication personified.

And it’s been this way for at least the last 23 years under the direction of Jennifer Seye who has turned the dance program into what it is today, an inclusive space where students of all backgrounds and experiences can explore and express their passion for dance.

According to a 2025 study conducted by the American Veterinary Medical Association, 43 percent of U.S. households own a dog and 33 percent own a cat. Including other pets such as reptiles, birds, fish, and gerbils, about 62 percent of Americans own some kind of pet.

Roughly 6.5 million animals enter shelters each year, but only 3.2 million are adopted, leaving the remaining 3.3 million to either stay in shelters for ages, or be put down. The national move towards no-kill shelters has seen the national save rate climb to 83 percent, a 77 percent reduction in euthanasia rates since 2016. This progress is driven by education on the issue, with various organizations working to improve conditions for pets in need of homes. 

One of those organizations? Glenelg’s newest club: Glads for Wags, whose mission is to spread awareness about the needs of man’s best friend in shelters around the area.
