Also… in the spirit of giving, Gledhill Junior Public School is supporting Centre 55 and the Daily Bread Food Bank this holiday season. Due to COVID-19, collection of items is looking different this year.

Daily Bread Food Bank- Gledhill is collecting one (1) food item per child this year. Please have your child bring their one non perishable item to the food box in their classroom!

A special thank you to Stephen Watson and the Beach Lions Club for the generous donation of Gledhill’s holiday tree this year.

On behalf of Gledhill School Council, we want to wish all of our in school and virtual families, as well as all the Gledhill staff, a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!

Enjoy the winter break and we look forward to seeing you in 2021!

Planning a holiday teacher gift this year?

Please see the following communication from the TDSB re: Holiday Gift Giving recommendations

To support safe gift giving this year, Toronto Public Health makes the following recommendations:
· Consider gift cards as gifts.
· Consider donations to charitable organizations in lieu of gifts.
· When giving a teacher a gift, look for items that can be wiped down or ensure that the gift can be quarantined for 3 days prior to opening it. The teacher is to practice hand hygiene before and after touching the gift.
