The Gledhill Guardian

We hope all students at Gledhill had a wonderful time attending the Toronto Symphony Orchestra over the last two days! Proceeds from the past three school concerts helped to significantly offset the cost of this trip. This is the third time our entire school was able to attend. Many thanks to our music teacher, Mrs. Bailey, and all the teacher and parent volunteers who made it happen.

If you see your child waltzing to school over the coming week, you’ll know why 😊

TDSB Day of Pink

Pink Shirt Day falls on the last Wednesday of February every year; join us on Pink Shirt Day this February 25th, 2026, in our mission to create a more kind, inclusive world by raising awareness for anti-bullying initiatives.

The International day of Pink in April will also be celebrated with the return of our Famous Gledhill Bake Sale… details to come after March Break!

A final reminder that the deadline for the $15 advanced tickets to the Parent Party will be tomorrow, Sat Feb 21 at noon. You are still welcome to join if you miss the cut off, but tickets will be $20 at the door!

For those attending, a reminder to swing by the bank, as it’s cash bar at the Legion!

Time to dust off those snowshoes and get into the Olympic spirit! Reminder to purchase your tickets in advance (e-transfer to thegledhillguardian@gmail.com) for a discounted price. Let’s cheer on the great team that is the parent body at Gledhill Jr PS!

Tomorrow is the last day for fittings for kids who would like to borrow skates & helmets for Skate Day on March 24th. Please ensure your child brings a sturdy bag as they will be required to store & carry their borrowed items to the arena and then return after Skate Day.

This weekend will be a long 4-day weekend with a PA day tomorrow and Family Day on Monday. We hope you are able to take some time to relax and spend quality time with your loved ones.

We will be selling Valentine heart-shaped cookies with sprinkles on them. Please send your child with $2 for a cookie if you are able on Wednesday and/ or Thursday, Feb 11/12^th. Once we sell out, the cookies will be gone. We’ve ordered enough for everyone so that every student can get an opportunity to buy one if they wish.

Also, this is a reminder to spread love and kindness by bringing in your Valentine’s cards and wearing the colours of Valentine’s Day on Thursday (since Friday is a PA day) 💗

Happy Valentine’s Day to all our smart cookies!

Congratulations to all our students for being 100 days smarter and making our days 100% brighter! We are proud of all of your accomplishments and perseverance.

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.
