A reminder for tomorrow morning:

gledhillguardian's avatarThe Gledhill Guardian

Ray the Crossing Guard is retiring. Come out and help send him off with a SURPRISE THANK YOU PARADE! On Friday, December 19th at 8:15am we will meet in two secret spots. Join us at either the corner of Keystone and Patricia, or Oak Park just north of Danforth (out of Ray’s sight!). Come prepared to make some noise – bring noisemakers, homemade instruments, whatever may be in your toy box! Have your child write a letter to Ray, create a card, draw a picture, make a sign – ideally every child has something to hand over to Ray. At 8:20am, the music will begin and we will parade en masse, cheering for Ray, dancing up a storm. One by one, the kids will line up and say thank you and give him their card/letter/drawing. Parents too! After all, this is the man who jumps in front of cars every day…

2. A message from the Eco-Team:

Thanks to our first participants for submitting some great ideas for how to Green Christmas! Today we would like to send a thank you and a hot chocolate to Sadie in Room 21 and Robert in P1. Sadie’s idea is: “Turn off Christmas lights when nobody is around, to save energy” Also Robert from P1 writes: “You can make homemade presents for family and friends so you don’t create plastic waste.” Great ideas! If you have any ideas please drop them in the Green Box in the office. Keep the ideas coming!

Gledhill’s Spring Concert

Posted on May 22, 2014 | Comments Off on Gledhill’s Spring Concert

Anyone at this evening’s Spring Concert knows that Gledhill students have serious musical talent! We are all very proud of the emcees, choir members, ukulele players, band members, classrooms and extraordinary supporting musicians who performed to a very appreciative audience. 

Special thanks to all of the teachers who helped to keep groups of anxious students waiting in classrooms throughout the school for their turn to shine on stage. Band teacher Ross Wooldridge, piano accompanist Ali Vawser and, of course, Ms O’Gorman, Ms Bailey and Mr McBride deserve a special note of thanks for their dedication and inspiration to our children.
