This was SO. MUCH. FUN. last year — sharing a delicious meal with nice people, getting to meet your kid’s friends and their parents, chatting with grownups over dessert while the kids are entertained. I can’t even tell you how much you should go. Just go! (Just don’t forget your food and your family’s plates and cutlery)

Pizza and a Movie, anyone?

Gledhill’s second movie night of the year happens this Friday, March 1st! Come join us for Ice Age 4 in the Gledhill gym. Doors open at 6PM, show starts at 6:30PM. We’re ordering 25 cheese pizzas to sell to hungry families, so bring your appetite! This is a family event, so all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Special bonus this time: on top of our regular raffle for a copy of the movie we will also be raffling off 4 AGO passes! These raffles are included with your entrance ticket.

Entrance is $1/person. Popcorn is $1/bag and pizza is $2/slice. All proceeds go to support SACA initiatives like the currently running UcanDoIt. See you there!

 

SACA Meeting Feb. 19; Trivia Night Feb. 22

Oliver’s Labels available through Gledhill!
Has your child lost anything at school? If yes, then we have a solution that many of you are already familiar with – Oliver’s Labels. Oliver’s Labels is a Canadian company that is only a few blocks from the school. They make personalized, easy-to-use, stick-on labels for clothes, shoes, food containers, bags, and more – all the things that may go astray at school or daycare. They are dishwasher safe and won’t peel off.  http://www.oliverslabels.com/gledhill
