“K” from RM 25.: Instead of giving an object, you can make a donation in someone’s name such  as WWF or Greenpeace. – Great Idea!

“W” from RM 14: You wrap gifts in cloth or fabric that you already have. If you use ribbon it could be used for your hair after. – Such a nice idea!

“K” in RM 24: Use energy and electricity wisely such as cooking a big batch of food in the oven. – Thanks!

You will all receive a hot chocolate for your great ideas!

From, The Eco Team

Helpers are needed each movie night to set up chairs and mats (5:30 – 6:00), sell tickets, pizza and popcorn (6:00-7:30ish) and clean up (about 8:30 depending on when the movie ends). Please email Shane via thegledhillguardian@gmail.com if you can help. Upcoming movie nights are tomorrow, Dec 14th, Feb 22nd and April 26th.

  4. This year we have decided to collect gently used sports equipment that can be put to use by someone else. Balls, gloves, skates etc that are still in good condition or that you maybe have never used and are around your house can be brought in and placed in the bin outside the gym office. The GAC (Gledhill Athletics Club) are deciding how best to use the items. Thank you. – Mr Webb
