Thank you to all of the Gledhill parents, friends and staff who came out and made Friday night’s Trivia Night and Silent Auction a big success. Our trivia host, Terrance Balazo, kept us all on our game with some challenging trivia. Awesome job Terrance. Terrance gave us a shout out on twitter …
A big thanks to the many Gledhill parents and community businesses that donated items and services for the Silent Auction. It was a popular auction and, of course, helped Gledhill’s School Council raise funds for some of the programs we sponsor at the school. Finally, thanks to the organizing team (Jill, Lisa, Melissa and Andrea), volunteers and school administration for taking care of all of the logistical, behind the scenes preparation (this event couldn’t have been an adults only, licensed event without a bit of planning!)

Please donate! We have been very fortunate to receive many donations from parents already and we truly appreciate the generosity of our parent community. We ask if you have already offered a donation that you bring the item to the school’s office by Thurs. Feb. 18. For anyone who has not yet donated, but may be able to, please email us at gledhillschoolcouncil@gmail.com.
We are looking forward to a great event and we hope to see many of you on Friday!

Happy New Year and welcome back from the holidays!
A highlight of Council activities for the last two months of 2015:
The Gledhill School Council, spearheaded by Melissa Hillier, organized ‘Gledhill Marlies Day’ in November and over 400 people attended! It was a great event to raise money for the school and have fun. The Gledhill Choir did an amazing job signing ‘Oh Canada’ and Gledhill beat a record by having the most choir members sing at a Marlies event. Some of our Gledhill kids also had the opportunity to welcome the hockey players onto the ice in ‘the tunnel’ and we got to skate on the ice after the game. The event also raised over $2,800 to support Council-funded initiatives. We thank everyone who came out and supported the day.
The QSP magazine fundraiser was also held. If anyone is still interested in buying magazines, they can do so all year by ordering online at: http://www.qsp.ca/login/StudentInfo (you can find this link anytime on the right side bar of the this blog).
The Council also hosted a Coffee and Conversation event in December where we were able to connect with parents and enjoy our morning coffee. Thank you to Sam Kazak for organizing the event.
A pizza lunch was held in December for the school. It is a favourite event for parents and students and raised over $500. Thank you to Lexi Etinger for organizing and for all the parents who volunteered to serve the pizza.
Council-funded programs such as Drama with Jeff and Scientist in the School have also been continuing in the classrooms.
Looking ahead, the Council has the following planned:
Thank you to all the parents who volunteer their time to make these events a reality. Also thank you to our school administration and our teachers for their continued support and assistance!
