Gledhill School Council’s 2015 QSP fall magazine fundraising drive is now underway. Catalogues will arrive home with your child(ren) within a day or two if they already haven’t. Extra copies are available in the office. Please, note that we discourage competitive subscription sales.

QSP (Quality Service Programs, Inc. (http://qsp.ca) is a fundraising company with 40+ years experience working with schools and youth organizations. Gledhill runs a magazine sales campaign annually where 30-50% of revenue from magazine sales is donated to School Council to support our initiatives. Each student receives a catalog with 500 magazines offered for subscription at a reduced price. There is something for everyone’s interest and can be sent directly to relatives as gifts. There is a good collection of children’s magazines and many titles are Canadian.

Orders may be placed online or with the enclosed order forms. Online orders will be processed faster.

Gledhill’s online order page is: http://www.qsp.ca/3721081

Please order online where possible. For paper orders, please have your child return to their teacher before the end of the campaign. The current QSP campaign will run until Friday Dec. 11th but orders may be placed online year round. Gledhill will still receive credit.

Please email mark@tsal.com with any questions.

Marlies tickets are ready for pick up in the office. They are there until Friday at 3:30 pm. After that they will be available through Melissa Hillier.

Do you sometimes feel like you don’t have the full picture on your kids’ social media activities? Steve Chapelle (www.stevechapelle.ca) has been providing internet safety education to Ontario parents and students since 2006. In this dynamic presentation, tailored to parents/guardians, Steve will talk about methods and features for improving privacy and minimizing risk to children and the family, including social media activities from an Android and iOS perspective.

We’d like to know how many parent/guardians will be coming to this Speaker Series Presentation. Please CLICK HERE to let us know if you’ll be joining us on November 30^th at 7:30 p.m. Your response is anonymous as we are only tracking numbers for attendance purposes.

Highlights from the morning announcements:

1. A reminder to all choir members singing the anthem at the Marlies game that your yellow media release form is due to Ms. Bailey no later than tomorrow.

Marlies Ticket orders are processed and tickets will be ready for pickup at the office starting Tuesday morning at 10am. Tickets MUST BE PICKED UP BY FRIDAY AT 3 30 PM. 
All tickets left over will be held with Melissa and brought to the game on Sunday November 29th. 

You can email Melissa at melissahillier@hotmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. 

For those skating after the game you can leave skates in your cars and go and get them after the game or if they are small kid size skates that are in a bag you can have them with you at your seats. Melissa will have her van for those who are not driving and need a place to store them.
Don’t forget all Choir members must be there for 11 am. Parents can wait inside the main area for children as they do their sound check. Inside there is an event room where everyone can play some games and make posters. 
Can’t wait to see Gledhill shine as we cheer on the Marlies.  Thank you to Melissa for arranging this once again!

The Gledhill School Council collected feedback from parents and guardians through an online survey and at the Council’s October meeting to inform the development of goals for the year.

Draft goals have been developed based on the feedback and can be found here.  This document also contains the detailed feedback that was collected.  These goals will be discussed with an aim to approve them (and discuss next steps) at the next Council meeting on Thursday, December 3rd from 6:00 – 7:30.

If you have any questions or comments about the proposed goals, please feel free to email gledhillschoolcouncil@gmail.com (all feedback is welcome!).
