The Gledhill Guardian

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Just a couple of friendly reminders for this week:

• Pizza orders for Friday Nov 22 lunch, are due Thursday Nov 14. Please place your order through school cash online. Anyone interested in volunteering, please email us at thegledhillguardian@gmail.com 

• For any one interested in getting their grade 5 grad a sweater, orders are due Monday, Nov 18. Check out this blog post for more details!

Dear Grade 5 families,

We are excited to share that we have a hoodie design and are organizing a group order so that we can have the sweaters distributed before the holidays. This way, our grads can enjoy wearing them for their last year at Gledhill!  A big shout out to Mr. Webb for helping make this happen! We will offer a parent/guardian pick-up time, if you don’t want your child to see it before the holidays. 

The pricing of the sweater will depend on how many families are interested in ordering. If we get at least 18 orders, the price drops to $38.25 plus tax per sweater. And shipping will be free with the group order!

Please see the design below. There is also an option to add your child’s first or last name on the right sleeve for $7.95.

Please email thegledhillguardian@gmail.com by Monday, Nov 18th with your desired order.  Please include: your child’s name and classroom, hoodie size and name personalization if you would like it. 

Once we know how many people are interested, then we will communicate the final cost of your order so that you can e-transfer to the thegledhillguardian@gmail.com by Friday, Nov 22nd.

Hi Everyone,

Please note that the Gledhill Parent Council meeting & elections have been moved to Tuesday, Oct 1.

Please consider getting involved in whatever way you can! Check out the original blog post for details: https://gledhillguardian.com/2024/09/10/welcome-back-gledhill-families/

See you then!

This was shared in last week’s bulletin, but sharing to make it easy to find!

In preparation for the walk, please take note of the following details… 

1. We are hoping to hit our goal of $8,730 as this would bring Gledhill’s fundraising total to $100,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation over the past 23 years that we have been supporting the Terry Fox Foundation. 

2. The day of our school walk will be THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26th after morning recess. All fundraising will be done exclusively through the www.terryfoxschoolrun.org website. Click on “menu”, then “Find a school” and enter “Gledhill Junior Public School”.  Make sure to include the name(s) of the student(s) you are supporting as we will be conducting a t-shirt draw on the day of our school walk. Students who participated in the online donations will be automatically entered in the draw. 

(Please do not send any cash or cheques to the school.) 

Please submit all online donations no later than the end of day,  Friday, October 1st.

3. We are organizing our 4th “Terry Staff Challenge” event where we will invite staff to volunteer to do something fun, based on the funds raised… Will we see staff in silly costumes? Will they be wrapped up like a mummy? Will staff get taped to a wall?  

October date to be announced.

4. If you would like to purchase a bilingual T-shirt, the adult shirt is $25, and youth size is $20. In order for you to receive the shirts prior to our school run, please click on the link order under the “shop” section of the “menu”, as soon as possible. https://shop.terryfox.org/products/2023-terry-fox-run-t-shirt [UPDATE: Looking at the website, they seem to be sold out, but keep checking back incase they restock]

Thank you in advance for your support!!!

The Terry Fox Committee
