This is a friendly reminder that we have a Pizza Lunch Day coming up, courtesy of Gledhill School Council. If your child has previously sent in an order form and money, then s/he is all set to enjoy some hot, fresh pizza from Pizza Pizza, along with a cool refreshing drink of milk.

Unfortunately, if your child has not previously submitted an order, there will not be any pizza available for sale on the day of the lunch.

We are still looking for more volunteers to help serve pizza on Friday from 11:15-12noon. If you would like to help please email leslierightathome@gmail.com and let us know!
