Family Fest – Friday June 17, 2016 – HELP NEEDED

Hello Gledhill!
Your help is needed! Our amazing Family Fest is coming up on June 17th, and we would LOVE to have some support in manning stations, selling tickets or even providing some delicious treats to sell at our food tables.
What better reason is there to book a Friday afternoon off work?
Family Fest is the school council’s main fundraiser to support the enrichment programs your kids love like Drama with Jeff, Scientist in the School and Skate Day. It’s success is due to the help of our great parent body coming together to make this day possible.
