Updates on Gledhill School Council fundraising efforts

Dance-a-Thon – April 30th

gangnam-style-dance-vector

In order to make the Gledhill Danceathon even better we have moved the date to Thursday, April 30th. Amazing music will once again be brought to you by DJ Honey Pockets with Special Guests: Rhino and DJ Chokaholik. Help us save some trees by using the green pledge forms that were sent out earlier this month. If you no longer have this pledge sheet, please print it up from the file attached.

The Dance-a-Thon is one of our key fundraisers for the year. All the money raised will be used to fund Gledhill School Council-sponsored enrichment programs at Gledhill such as: Drama with Jeff, Scientists in the School and Skate Day. We are hoping that all who can, will help us raise an average of $20 per student through pledges from friends and family. All students will have the opportunity to participate in the Dance-a-Thon, regardless of whether they raise funds. You can also receive a tax receipt from the TDSB. Please see the details on the pledge form.

We Need Your Input!

Priorities for Fundraising and Programs for Next School Year 

5065834411_de6f4d3d0d_oWhat programs and activities would you like School Council to support to benefit your child or children? What kind of fundraising should School Council be doing to support these programs?

At the next Gledhill School Council meeting, on Thursday, April 9th, the major topic of  discussion will be fundraising at our school. We are looking for input from all perspectives and would love to hear your ideas. Our goals are to establish a) what fundraising events we want to organize (new ideas welcomed) and b) which programs we want to support with the funds raised from these events.

To help guide our discussion and inform our decisions, please have a look at Some Questions to Consider and the results from a 2014 School Council Supported Activities Survey in slideshow format.

This Thursday’s School Council Meeting agenda can be read here.  Please join us this coming Thursday at 6:30 in Gledhill library to share your insights.

Marlies Day a Huge Success!

Gledhill School Council presented our first Marlies Day this past Saturday March 28th. We had an amazing turn out selling 213 tickets and raising over $1,000 for Gledhill’s Breakfast Club.

While the final score was 2-1, a great time was had by all as Gledhill cheered on the Marlies as they tried to defeat the Bulldogs.

Gledhill School Council wishes to thank everyone who helped us to make this day a memorable one. We can’t wait to see you even more of you at the game next year.

CONGRATULATIONS to Charles Williams and Emilio Arriaza who won our secret Marlies Ticket Contest.

Whoopa Gledhill-Style!

(Please note that the Dance-A-Thon has been changed to Thursday, April 30th – giving everyone more time to collect pledges!)

Dust offgangnam-style-dance-vector those saddle shoes and glow-in-the-dark bracelets:  as you may have seen in your child’s folder, it’s dance-a-thon time again! The organizers are looking for a few parent volunteers to supervise the fun.
The details: the dance is Thursday, April 30th.  They need 4-5 volunteers per shift (morning or afternoon).  The schedule is made, so you can sign up for the same shift as your child’s class and totally impress their friends with your slick moves!  Or, groove out quietly and observe the fun.  Either way, your presence would be very much appreciated!
If you are able to volunteer, email our Volunteer Co-ordinator, Andrea Egan, at nichols_andrea@hotmail.com.
For other inquiries, you can contact organizer Crystal Hadfield at crystal.hadfield@sympatico.ca.
