The Gledhill Guardian

On top of the 4-day holiday long weekend which starts tomorrow and ends on Monday, there are other exciting and important dates in April:

• Today we wear blue as Autism Awareness day
• Next Wednesday April 8th is the International Day of Pink to recognize and stand up to bullying.  Please wear pink as a symbol that bullying will not be tolerated.   
• Passover began last night and Easter is this weekend followed by Orthodox Easter next weekend. 
• Earth Day is on April 22nd
• There will be an Open House on Thursday April 23rd for parents to have an opportunity to come and see some things their class will be working on around Indigenous Learning.
• From now until April 20th, you have the opportunity to donate items to Gledhill’s Silent Auction for Family Fest (May 29th), please email thegledhillguardian@gmail.com

What’s Happening?

We invite you to join the Gledhill School Council in bringing our community together again in an engaging fundraiser supporting student activities and educational programs! Last year we had so much fun and raised over $6,600 in support of technology and literacy goals at our school. Gledhill family and community members played an exceptional role in helping us create lasting memories for our community. Can we count on your support again?

How can I get invovled?

Apr 1-20: If you own a local business or have connections with other business owners, please consider donating an experience, gift card or merchandise as a bidding item. We offer free marketing through our event communication channels. Please find our donation request letter to download here and an example of how it looks below. Feel free to distribute this letter to local contacts.

By Apr 20: Reach out to Erin or Christine at thegledhillguardian@gmail.com and have your item ready for pick up by April 20th.

May 22- 29: Silent auction bidding will take place on our online auction platform and will be open one week before Family Fest (May 29) at which point the highest bidders will win their items!

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Yesterday was such a fun day for the kids of Gledhill! It takes a lot of work to make these events happen so let’s take a moment to thank all the people who helped make Skate Day possible.

Firstly, a big shout out to Kristen Grinyer who is the driving force behind this day — thank you! Another huge thank you to all the teachers & the parent volunteers — your support is appreciated.

We hope your kiddos had a memorable experience and look forward to next year!

Today is our last day of school before March Break! ☃️

We wish students, staff, parents, families and caregivers a relaxing, enjoyable March Break and if you are going away, we wish you safe travels. Looking forward to welcoming you back on Monday, March 23rd and excited to see all that we’ll accomplish in the final leg of the school year.

This week we are encouraging everyone to unleash their inner superhero by wearing a cape. We want to create an accessible, inclusive and equitable world for kids with disabilities.
