As we gear up for spring and perhaps you kick start some cleaning, consider bringing some of your old stuff to Gledhill to raise funds for the school. Check out some of the initiatives below to make your spring cleaning a breeze!

Household Goods FUNdrive

From April 24 until May 14, bring in your old toys, clothes, books or small household items to help raise money for Gledhill. Details below.

Used Writing Utensil Recycling

In conjunction with Staples Business supplies, used markers and pens are being collected to ensure they are properly recycled. Please drop them in the appropriate box by the front door of the school.

Dead Battery Collection

Staff and students may bring small batteries from school and home to be dropped off in the white battery recycled bucket near the first floor front door and on the third floor. Our participation ensures that chemicals are kept out of water and soil. Also, the more we recycle the more chanced Gledhill has chances to wish cash prizes towards school-yard greening projects. So bring us those batteries!

Thank you everyone who came out to support Gledhill at the Marlies game yesterday.

The choir had 100 members from grades 1-5 and they did such a fabulous job singing the National Anthem. Thank you to all the kiddos who participated and to the teachers who made it happen.

There were 493 tickets sold and we raised over $2K for the school. A special thank you to Lindsay, co-Chair of the parent council, who helped organize the tickets sales.

We hoped everyone who attended had a lovely time!

On Monday, April 3, we are going to Light it Up Blue in honour of Autism Awareness Month. Wear blue to show your support of inclusivity and celebrating differences!
