Gledhill’s 90s Dance and Silent Auction is only 11 days away (is your babysitter booked?) and the fundraising crew has been hard at work planning an evening of FUN!

Help is needed with a few key things on the night of – setting up auction items, selling tickets at the door, 50/50 draw and clean up at the end of the night. Shifts are an hour only so you can still help out and have the rest of the evening to PARTY!

Today’s Hallowe’en Parade starts at 12:45pm and will take place either indoors or out depending on the weather. Parents are invited to attend, if they are able, either way. The formal Coffee and Conversation planned has been cancelled due to the weather, but parents are welcome to bring a mug of something and socialize outside after the parade – weather permitting.

We Scare Hunger Food Drive

The Grade 4 and 5 students in Rms 24 and 25 have been working hard to coordinate the annual, Gledhill “We Scare Hunger Food Drive”.  Every classroom in the school has a box ready to receive donations of non-perishable, nut free food items. Boxes will be collected from the classrooms on Thursday, November 1st. All food will be donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank.

Whether your child has Mr. Webb for PhysEd or not, his website is helpful for tracking what is going on with all things Athletic at Gledhill. And, you can also check out what Gledhill Spiritwear is available for purchase.

Highlights from this morning’s announcements:

Read first: “I would like to acknowledge that this school is situated upon traditional territories. The territories include the Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha, Alderville First Nation and the Métis Nation. The treaty that was signed for this particular parcel of land is collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923 and applies to lands east of Woodbine Avenue. I also recognize the enduring presence of Aboriginal peoples on this land.”
