Silent Auction Success!

A Huge Success!

Tonight’s Silent Auction was an amazing event. Thanks to all of the parents, staff and community members who came out for an evening of fun, food, drinks and bidding in support of Gledhill Jr. P.S.

Our organizer, Andrea, and the team of volunteers did a tremendous job of ensuring the evening went off without a hitch. Every detail was considered – from decorations and music choices to food & drink and donated auction prizes courtesy of very generous local businesses and organizations. Special thanks to Mrs. Darling for her artistic touches and work with Gledhill students in preparing their auction pieces.

An incredibly co-ordinated effort by all!

Halloween Parade Pictures

Every October, Gledhill hosts a Halloween Parade. Students and teachers alike can show their wild side to all of their friends and colleagues on this special day. We were fortunate that the rain held off long enough for the parade to be held outside this year. A special thanks to Principal McLachlan, who kindly provided the following pictures of the Halloween parade a couple of weeks ago.
