The Gledhill Guardian

The Olympics are off to a racing start! This week, students are invited to dress as Olympic Winter athletes, wear red and white or Canada clothing or gear from your favourite country.

Gledhill School Council is excited to offer Pizza Lunch days for all students who wish to participate (Kindergarten – Grade 5).  

We’ve had great feedback on our new ordering process, and will continue with that for the second half of the year. 

This order will cover the remaining pizza days of the year and will be the same for each of the 4 upcoming pizza days: February 27, March 27, April 24 and May 22.

Here are the details: 

–       Pizza is supplied by Pizza Pizza

–       Your choice of cheese, pepperoni, halal pepperoni (new!), dairy-free cheese, or cheese with gluten-free crust

–       $3 per slice (up to three slices per student may be ordered)

–       Orders are placed through SchoolCash Online (you will receive an email directly from SchoolCash Online so check your junk mail if you cannot find it; alternatively, you can register/sign in here: https://tdsb.schoolcashonline.com)

–       Order Deadline for all 4 pizza lunches:  Thursday, February 19th.

Kindly note that pizza orders cannot be changed once they have been placed, and there are no refunds for students who miss their lunch or who are absent on Pizza Lunch day.  Be sure to place your order in advance as pizza will NOT be available for sale on the day of the Pizza Lunch. 

Please continue to send snacks and drinks with your student(s) on these days, as only pizza will be offered for those who have placed an order.

All pizza orders contribute to Gledhill School Council’s fundraising efforts – thank you for supporting Gledhill and our students!

P.S.  Pizza Lunch days are organized and executed by a wonderful group of Gledhill parent volunteers.  It is a great way to get involved in the school community, meet other families and support our students.  If you’re interested in helping with Pizza Lunch day or want to learn more about volunteering at Gledhill, please email thegledhillguardian@gmail.com
