A big thank you to all family and friends of Gledhill who were able to make it out and/or support the Gledhill “Leap Year Party” on Saturday February 29th!

We were able to raise over $5,450 to support parent council funded programs for the school!  There were 84 tickets sold and it was great to see some new faces out that night!  We have a wonderful school community and it was evident that night!

Thanks to Lindsay Tarvit for organizing and executing a successful night and to all of the volunteers who came early, helped out during or stayed late.  Thank you to DJ Rhino(one of our Gledhill parents) for getting people on the dance floor with your great music!  Also thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 22 for their help with our night!

Hello Gledhill families!

During the month of February, the TDSB celebrates Black History month.

In the front hallway of the school across from Room 3, we have a wonderful exhibit of art that has been loaned to Gledhill for the month by one of our families to celebrate and recognize the work of Black artists.  The talented artist, Owen Ralph, is one of our students grandfathers.  Please bring your students by to have a look at these wonderful pieces, you won’t be disappointed!

Hello Gledhill families!  

Here’s your weekly update of “what’s coming up at Gledhill”!  

The character trait for February is “Fairness”.  Every morning the students hear a quote related to Fairness with the morning announcements.  

February is African History month, as well as Chinese Heritage month within the TDSB.  Gledhill will be recognizing African History and Chinese Heritage through the daily announcements, as well as activities within the classrooms.

There is a STRIKE DAY scheduled this week for Friday February 21st.  The school is closed to students on this day.  The following up date has been provided by the TDSB regarding the strike days this week: https://www.tdsb.on.ca/News/Article-Details/ArtMID/474/ArticleID/1421/Labour-Update-ETFO–OSSTF-Announce-One-day-Walkout-on-Friday-February-21
