Hello to all of our Gledhill families!

What a year it has been! We hope that all of our families have a safe, fun and relaxing summer!

Before we sign off for the summer break, we wanted to provide a very exciting update on our year-end fundraising initiative! We raised $11, 245 and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing families and community that make Gledhill such special place! Thank you to everyone who was able to contribute and share the information!

A big thank you to all of our Gledhill staff- teachers, admin and support staff who kept the year going despite the many challenges!

We wish all of our Grade 5 graduates all the best as they head off to new school(s) next year and we look forward to welcoming our new JKs in September.

Do know a family joining Gledhill in the fall? Let them know about to sign up for this blog and to join our Gledhill Facebook page to stay up to date on back to school information for September 2021.

Stay well and stay safe Gledhill Tigers! See you in September!

We want to wish Gledhill’s Grade 5 students all the best as they move onto new schools next year! Students were invited to Gledhill at the beginning of this week to say goodbye to some of their teachers and have opportunities to share memories of their time at Gledhill! A big thanks to teachers, admin, and parents of the students for giving our Grade 5’s a special send off!

Today is the last day to support our students 2021-22 school year through Schools Council initiatives.

Thank You for everyone’s support so far, we have almost met our $10K goal.

Please consider the lack of fundraising this year and contribute what you can!

Contributing is simple: click on the link, sign in and select the amount for donation (whatever works for your family). A few minutes is all it takes to help the Gledhill School Council.

This year has been one like no other. Thank you to teachers and parents for stepping up and keeping the school year going for all the students.

Have a great summer!

It’s been a challenging year for everyone, and we can’t say goodbye in person.

Hello Gledhill families…

As we near the end of the school year, we are realizing that our usual fund-raising efforts will not be possible.

Please see the letter below that we have sent out to our school families asking you to consider contributing to this year’s fundraising.

We ask that you please also share this letter with Grandparents, neighbours and Gledhill alumni who might also be interested in giving to Gledhill initiatives.

We hope all of our families are doing well and staying safe!
