announcementHighlights from the morning announcements:

1. The Kindergarten teachers and ECEs would like to thank everyone who helped to make Kindergarten playday a HUGE success. Thank you to Mr. Collins for lending us the hose for our water event and to all our Grade 5 students who were so helpful and treated our Kindergarten children with such RESPECT!

Family Fest 2015!

What a great event! The weather was perfect, the food was (as usual) delicious, the games and activities were popular and no bouncy castles flew away!

Thank you to all of the families (students, former students, parents, grandparents, relatives, teachers and staff) that came out to meet up with friends in support of Gledhill. What a great way to end the school year! Special thanks to the masses of volunteers who stepped up to take on a shift at a booth or game. We couldn’t have done it without you! Of course, this event was only possible because a small group of parents who dedicated themselves (and a lot of their time) to organizing Family Fest this year – brainstorming ideas, planning events, contacting vendors, preparing activities, soliciting businesses for prizes and, of course, recruiting amazing volunteers.

It was a rewarding experience, one which we hope you will consider helping out with next school year.

Have a great summer. We look forward to another fantastic year starting in September.
