Family Fest – 5 Days away – Volunteers and Food Still Needed!

The excitement is building! Family Fest is this Friday, June 19 from 3:30-7:30pm in the schoolyard. There will be lots of great games, crafts, activities and yummy food for the whole family! A big thank you to those people who have already signed up to help out and bring food.

We are still looking for:

People –  More are desperately needed  to man the food stations and run the great children’s activities planned. We’d like to stay open until 7:30 and keep the fun going longer this year. Shifts are “Early” 3:15-5:30 or “Late” 5:30-7:45, but even if you are able to help for a shorter amount of time, your help would be greatly appreciated. (Simply sign up through “Volunteer Spot” for an early or late shift, but indicate in the comments your availability).

We also welcome students, grades 4 and up, including high school needing volunteer hours, to help us with our many children’s activities.

Food – Our International Food and Bake Sale tables need to be stocked to feed all our hungry families

International Foods – a favourite every year. We stock it with finger foods, salads and things that don’t need to be kept too warm or too cold. Examples: mini quesadillas, noodle salads, pigs in a blanket, spanish rice or precut lasagna.

Bake Sale – The best are things that can be sold individually like cupcakes, muffins, cookies and squares.

Please visit “Volunteer Spot” and let us know how you are able to help or what food you can bring : http://vols.pt/61oBw2

Pizza Lunch Tomorrow

Our final Pizza Lunch of the year is THIS FRIDAY, courtesy of Gledhill School Council. If your child has previously sent in an order form and money, then s/he is all set to enjoy some hot, fresh pizza from Pizza Pizza, along with a cool refreshing drink of milk.

Enjoy!

We love our bikes!

Gledhill kids had a blast at last week’s bike rally. They had so much fun, they hardly noticed the valuable cycling lessons they were learning: hand signals (left, right and stop), helmet safety, and how to cross at a cross walk, among other things.  And of course, the watermelon after was a huge hit.
A huge thank you to Mark Fowle for organizing and to all the parent volunteers who came out to help.

Bike rally forms due!

Well, past due, but Mark will still take them, up to the day of (Wednesday) provided they come with  a helmet!  In case you’ve lost the office email, here is the form:  bikerallyflyer2015 (2).

Dance tomorrow, bike next week!

The Dance-a-thon is tomorrow (I know this because my eight year old is trying to bring down her fever with the power of her mind, so she can go to school tomorrow, the “second-most important day of the year, after Halloween”).

In other, also important, news, the bike rally next week is in need of a few good volunteers.  You should have received this info from your class reps, and the letter from the office.  If you can help out, email School Council co-chair, Mark Fowle at mark@tsal.com and sign up for morning or after noon.

Dance-a-Thon – April 30th

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.

Dance-a-Thon Pledge Form

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.
