  • Don’t forget the Popcorn and Cotton candy afterwards or our Famous Bake Sale and Food Tables where even the picky eaters will find something they love.

Bikes, books, bouncy castles: Help Wanted!

There’s a little over a month left of this school year, which means there’s now a limited number of times for you to show your Gledhill love and volunteer at the school.  Please look at these opportunities and share widely!
Bikes!
Our annual Bike Rally is Thursday, June 8th. The bike rally is a fun and practical way to teach bike safety to the kids.  There is a morning session and afternoon session, and parents can do one or both. Please contact Andrea Egan at  nichols_andrea@hotmail.com if you would like to volunteer.
Books!
It’s quite possible you’ve already seen evidence of the hard work of the Gledhill librarian, Ms Kopka — in the great books your kids bring home, in the Google slide shows they teach you to make, in the robots they’ve constructed out of Lego, or even in their media-savvy attitudes about the world around them.  Ms Kopka is always busy and could really use our help in organizing and shelving books as we come to the end of the year.  Please let her know if you can spare a couple of hours in the library.  Her email is agnieszka.kopka@tdsb.on.ca
Bouncy castles!
The Gledhill Family Fest is on Friday, June 16, after school.  They are looking for a wide range of volunteers.  This is always a fun event, and it’s an opportunity for people who work during the day to volunteer a bit too!  (Lucky!)

Shout Out for Family Fest Marketplace Vendors

This year’s Family Fest is scheduled for Friday, June 16 and as usual we are planning a dynamic Market Place. Do you or someone you know have a family friendly business you’d like to promote or products you’d like to sell?

Vendor tables are $40 for Gledhill Parents and $50 for Non-Parents. Inquiries can be made to Melissa at melissahillier@hotmail.com 

 

Family Fest 2016

This year’s Family Fest was another fantastic event with lots of families, great weather, excellent food, a 50/50 draw, expanded bouncy castle selection, dance and Tae Kwon Do performances, a photo booth, a barber and, of course, face painting. We even sold over 100 Gledhill water bottles!

Thank you to all of the parents, students, staff and community members that came out to meet up with friends in support of Gledhill. What a great way to end the school year! Special thanks to the masses of volunteers who stepped up to take on a shift at a booth or game. We couldn’t have done it without you! Of course, this event was only possible because a small group of parents who dedicated themselves (and a lot of their time) to organizing Family Fest this year – brainstorming ideas, planning events, contacting vendors, preparing activities, soliciting businesses for prizes and, of course, recruiting amazing volunteers.

It was a rewarding experience, one which we hope you will consider helping out with next school year.

Have a great summer. We look forward to another fantastic year starting in September.
