Hello Gledhill families!  

Here’s your weekly update of “what’s coming up at Gledhill”!  

The TDSB has advised that afterschool/evening activities such as Movie Nights be cancelled until job action has been resolved.  As a result, the Movie Night scheduled for this Friday February 28th will be cancelled.

We will keep you posted with any other updates that affect school activities as we are made aware of them, as these guidelines may change at any time.  Thank you for understanding!

The character trait for February is “Fairness”.  Every morning the students hear a quote related to Fairness with the morning announcements.
