Games: This year the games will be part of our “bounce and game as much as you want” wristbands. We need someone to explore the family fest room, choose and set up the games on the day of.

Publicity/Social Media Guru: We are having posters designed but, we need someone to cheerlead on our Facebook page, post posters around the school and make sure we have a presence on the morning announcements leading up the event.

Our volunteer coordinator will be scouting volunteers for the different stations so, no need to recruit for your posts.

Please contact nichols_andrea@hotmail.com if you are interested in one of these positions!

Thank you everyone for your continued dedication to our school!

Bike Rally

The annual bike rally at Gledhill is coming May 17th! Kids, join us for a fun­packed morning of bike safety and maneuvering exercises. You will practice signaling, stopping, turning, zigzagging, and other skills that will make you a super­safe biker.

Parents, please let us know if you can volunteer on one or both sessions. Biking experience is useful but not essential. We need new volunteers this year – this is a great way to get involved in your child’s school and your community!

If you would like your child to participate in the bike rally, please fill in the attached form and send it back to your child’s teacher by May 12th. It can also be found on the Gledhill Guardian’s Events page or the Forms page.
