The Gledhill Guardian

This is our second last PA Day of the school year (the last one will be June 26th). Hope everyone has a lovely long weekend!

A reminder that Gledhill yearbooks for the 2025-2026 school year are now available to order. This special keepsake is a great look back at all the events, activities and memories the kids have been a part of this year.  

If you would like to purchase a yearbook, please be sure to order by June 10, 2026. We cannot guarantee copies will be available after this date, so we encourage families to order early. The yearbooks will be distributed by your child’s teacher the last week of school.

The price of the yearbook is $20 + tax.
