The Gledhill Guardian

The School Council would like to welcome back all our parents and students and extend a big welcome all our new families!

Daily announcements will be post here daily again this year.

This morning’s only announcement was a reminder to teachers and students of this morning’s “Welcome Back Assembly” in the gym at 10:20am.

Upcoming Dates to mark on your calendars:

Sept 21 – Curriculum Night – 6-7pm

Sept 22 – Terry Fox Walk

Sept 26 – School Photo Day

Further details on these events will come home via the office administration.

The date for the first Gledhill School Council Meeting/Election is being finalized and will be announced shortly.

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.
