Posted onJune 11, 2026|Comments Off on The Eco-Team is recruiting volunteer families to water Gledhill gardens for the summer! 🚿🌼🌹🏵️🌷🪻🍅🫛🚿
It’s that time of the year when the Eco-team is looking for local families who are interested and able in watering the veggie and pollinator gardens at Gledhill.
If you can commit to watering the gardens for one week or more weeks, we need you!
What is required?!
Two small raised veggie gardens, a new pollinator garden and the beautiful Terry Fox gardens (maintained by Erin Spencer) require regular summer watering (all located at the front of the school).
It is best for the plants to water during the morning (before 9am or after 2 pm, when the sun has gone around the school.
If your week is a very hot, sunny dry week, we request that you aim to water every second day. If your week has had rain, you can wait two days then water, depending on whether more rain falls.
Volunteers will be provided with access to the small garden shed where watering keys, hoses and containers are kept.
We will schedule from Sunday to Saturday of July and August.

Silent Auction
Dear Gledhill Community,
It is our pleasure to share that, with your incredible support, the 2026 Gledhill Silent Auction raised $7,116.00, surpassing our goal of $7,000! Thank you for making this year’s fundraiser such a wonderful success.
The proceeds will go directly toward enriching student learning experiences and resources, helping our children learn, grow, and reach their full potential. This achievement would not have been possible without the generosity and dedication of so many members of our community. Thank you to our local business donors, our teachers and families who created the beautiful gift baskets, and to Mme. Willoughby for coordinating staff contributions. We are also deeply grateful to our silent auction team of parent volunteers who gathered donations, managed the website and communications, staffed the table at Family Fest, and prepared thank-you cards for our donors. Thank you Casey, Ashley, Karolina, Jonathan, Danielle, Clare, and Tara.
A special thank you goes to Jessica Krecklo Naidu for creating the artwork featured on our thank-you cards. We also extend our sincere appreciation to our office administrative staff, Faey and Astrid, for coordinating prize pickups, and to Ms. Minos and Lian for keeping communications running smoothly throughout the campaign.
To everyone who worked behind the scenes, brainstorming ideas, reaching out to donors, spreading the word, and building excitement, thank you. Your passion, generosity, and commitment to our students and school community are truly inspiring. We see and appreciate the countless hours you devoted while balancing so many other responsibilities.
Together, we continue to create meaningful opportunities for our students and strengthen the vibrant community that makes Gledhill Jr. Public School a great place to be/où il fait bon vivre. Wishing everyone a wonderful summer, and we look forward to another fantastic year ahead!
Please complete this very brief survey to help us make next year even better!
