Our hard-working Gledhill librarian is looking for a few good folks to help her with the Scholastic book fair on the mornings of Friday, April 7, Monday, April 10, and Tuesday, April 11. You can sign up here.

If you like a little more grooving in your volunteering, consider helping Crystal Hadfield organize the dance-a-thon. She’s been working on it for years, and this is her last year, so she needs someone to take over.  You can email her at crystal.hadfield888@gmail.com

Finally, we are looking for someone to go to the Parents as Partners Conference 2017 this Saturday. Please let us know at thegledhillguardian@gmail.com.

In honour of Greek Heritage month we have a trivia question for you: Entry slips can be picked up at the main office counter and placed in Mr Currie’s mailbox.  – The theme of the Greek heart and soul is said to be represented by three attributes of philanthropia, philoxenia and philotimo” What do these loosely translate to in English?
