Dear Gledhill Students and Families,

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! What better way to promote reading to our students than by supporting this important literary event.
We invite your entire family to participate by purchasing the latest and greatest in children’s books. Your support of this vital literary event is a key part of helping us obtain new books and resources for our library and
classrooms.
You’ll find hundreds of quality books at our Book Fair with a wide assortment for all reading levels. Visit the Scholastic Book Fairs website at http://www.scholastic.ca/bookfairs to read reviews of the Featured Books.
Children will be bringing home a Book Fair flyer that provides a preview of only a FEW of the many books available to purchase at our Fair.
The flyer also contains a special Book Fair Draw ballot that students can deposit during their visit to the Book Fair. You could win $50 in books – $25 for your family PLUS $25 for your child’s classroom! The draw will take
place on​ ​Thursday,​ ​November​ ​16th​.

Don’t forget to mark the Book Fair dates on your calendar! We look forward to seeing you during our Scholastic Book Fair and thank you, in advance, for supporting this great literary event. Thank you for believing in books and the impact of reading on your child’s future.

Sincerely,
Gledhill Book Fair Team

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.”

1. All rugby teams please see Mr. Webb at 11:45 outside his office to get your schedule and information letter to go home to your family .
2. Message from Ms. Smith: I would like to congratulate Gledhill’s six Cross Country runners who qualified for the City of Toronto Finals meet at Centennial Park in Etobicoke yesterday. They were among the best athletes in the entire city and there were up to 200 competitors in each race… all of which were extremely difficult. I am so very proud of how hard all of you have worked over the past two months. You represented our school very well yesterday!
