As the year comes to a close, we wanted to give you something to ponder over the summer. As you know Gledhill School Council brings fun events, programs, and builds community at our great school. The council needs as many volunteers as possible to fund raise for and plan these amazing programs. As a parent or guardian at Gledhill you can always attend any/all council meetings and give your input to how things are done. We also need people who can step into some of the Chair roles in order for the council to run. This year our wonderful President, Andrea, is stepping down so we will need to fill that role, as well as many others. Elections will be held in the fall for the positions for the 2017-2018 school year. Detailed descriptions of the positions can be found here: School Council Roles. If you have any questions about a role, just getting involved, or the elections please feel free to contact Lexi Etinger at lexietinger@hotmail.com.

Have a wonderful summer!

Gledhill”s schoolyard has a variety of plants and young trees that will desperately need watering over July and August. Volunteers are needed. If your family is able to sign up for one or more weeks, please contact Mme Leclerc at Chantal.Leclerc@tdsb.on.ca as soon as possible to let her know your availability.
