Highlights from this morning’s announcements:

Read first: “I would like to acknowledge that this school is situated upon traditional territories. The territories include the Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha, Alderville First Nation and the Métis Nation. The treaty that was signed for this particular parcel of land is collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923 and applies to lands east of Woodbine Avenue. I also recognize the enduring presence of Aboriginal peoples on this land.”

3. Two messages from the Eco Club:
   1. -There are a few more days to send a photo of you or your family shopping with reusable bags. There will be a prize drawn for participants. Last Day is this Friday.  – check the Eco Club bulletin board to see who has already sent in a photo. Mme Leclerc is waiting for your photos. Thanks!  chantal.leclerc@tdsb.on.ca
   2. Here at Gledhill we don’t like litter and waste. It’s harmful and it impacts animals, plants and people. 2 weeks ago, Rm 29 conducted a waste audit in the big lunch room. We noticed that many of us are using the green bin properly by putting in apple and pear cores, bread and other items. Sometimes you my not be sure what to do with your lunch waste and that’s OK. Please check the sign by the green bin to make the right choice. Thank you for your cooperation!
