The Gledhill Guardian

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 choir members and Uschool ukulele players are asked to come to the gym after last recess for their last practice before the Centennial performance.  Teachers, students will join the games outside once done. MCs should also be present.
2. We have fantastic news! Gledhill students, we ran across Canada this fall! We have successfully run into Toronto for our 100th celebration. A huge thank-you to the cross-country team, whose many, many kilometers helped Mrs. Pace’s PE classes make the journey from Vancouver to Toronto.
