…and thanks for a super-fun day!  Gledhill skaters took over the Ted Reeve arena  today, and whether they were board-hugging newbies or Olympic hockey players in the making, our students skated with enthusiasm and with respect for each other.

A big thank you goes out to all the parents who hauled skates, organized our loaner skates and helmets, and tied a thousand pairs of skates. Thanks also to all the teachers who escorted and supported (literally, often) the students and to our admin who made it possible.  And of course, to the Gledhill School Council for organizing the day and the volunteers, and for funding the ice time.

We look forward to another fun Skate Day next year!
