What’s Happening in December ❄

All Month: Reading Challenge
Starting December 2nd, we invite all students to participate in a fun reading challenge as we move towards the winter break. Our hope is that the active engagement with reading at home, will build a love for reading outside of school and create positive reading habits.

Students will receive a bingo sheet containing fun reading activities. Completed sheets can be handed into the office in exchange for a small prize. A digital copy of the board can be found here

Dec 2-6: Book Fair
Find your next great read & support the school! If you are able to volunteer your time and support our School Book Fair, please sign up here. It takes a village to raise a child!

Friday Dec 6: Movie Night
Join us for our first movie night this year! Adults: our movie nights rely on volunteers to run. Please offer your support, even for an hour, to make this another successful movie night for our school community.  Sign up to volunteer at this link.

Sunday Dec 8: 2nd Annual Gledhill Community Food Drive

The face of hunger is real and it’s very close to home. Your neighbour, a work colleague, a friend, someone in your family; hunger isn’t an issue reserved solely for strangers or the homeless. Food insecurity can be found even within our closest circles and more often than not, these people go by quietly unnoticed.

To volunteer, fill out the Google Form at http://bit.ly/gledhill_food. Questions? Email gledhillfooddrive@gmail.com Unable to drop off on Dec 8? Email  gledhillfooddrive@gmail.com no later than Dec 6 to arrange a porch pick up.
