The Gledhill Guardian

The kindergarten concert is at 2 p.m. and the grade 1-5 concert is at 6:30 p.m.

Participating classes in the WINTER CONCERT include rooms 9, 14, 18, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, in addition to the USchool Ukelele group and the Primary Choir. (All remaining grade 1-5 classes will perform in the spring concert)

Staff will be at their room at 6:15 p.m. and students should be dropped off at their assigned class promptly at that time, no earlier. If students are only performing with PRIMARY CHOIR, please drop them off on the second floor in room 15

USchool ukulele students are to be dropped off in room 18 (the music room). If they are also performing with their class, they need to check in with their teacher at 6:15 p.m. and then go directly to the music room with their ukulele as they are first to perform

Please consider supporting our community and fundraising initiatives during the concerts:

• Support Center 55: Kindly bring a non-perishable food item or new unwrapped toy to be donated
• Support our new playground: hot chocolate kits ($4) & snowman kits ($2) will be available for purchase. Cash only.
• Support our music program: You can win TWO seats in the front row by purchasing tickets outside of the gym on the night of the concert. 1 ticket for $2, 3 for $5 and 10 for $10. Winners will be announced at the beginning of the concert and invited to their new seats.

PLEASE NOTE: No eating or drinking in the gym and no photography as we have students whose families choose for their children to not be photographed

On Wednesday December 14th, get into the holiday spirit by dressing up in anyway that reflects how you celebrate the upcoming season! Fancy, serious, or silly, Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, however you celebrate come dressed to impress!

A reminder that if you would like to order pizza for your student(s) for Dec 16 & Jan 27, please place your order tonight (Dec 12) by 11:59PM via School Cash Online.

Hello Everyone, we hope your December is off to a great start. We wanted to share with you some helpful pages to make sure you are in the know this month.

Please see a summary of events this month here.

Please see a link to the December newsletter here.

We also have a lot of fundraising initiatives taking place, to see how you can get involved check those out here.

Join us in support of Gledhill School Council to raise money supporting the school through the community.  The School Council supports many school activities, fun fair, playground/school improvements, classroom materials, etc.  Join us in a fun game of Wine Survivor with the opportunity to win some amazing prizes.  This is a community event, all are invited to join (grandparents, special friends, aunts, uncles, etc.). You must be at least 19 years old to play.

What is Wine Survivor? It’s kind of like the famed game of elimination, except the prize is a whole bunch of wine (or LCBO gift certificates), split between the final three contestants who have not been “voted out” of the game.

To become a Wine Survivor contender, all you need to do is buy in for $40 ($20 goes to the Council and $20 towards the prize pool). Your entry is valid for the duration of the game…until you get eliminated! There is no limit to how many entries into the game you can buy – the more entries, the more chances to win (and the more funds raised for Council)!

Like Survivor, all players are looking to win immunity. Once the game begins there will be draws over 2 weeks.

The first name drawn will gain immunity for that evening’s draw. 

The next names drawn are “voted off” (eliminated).

For those being eliminated for the first time, fear not! You get to make one of two choices:

1. Accept your fate and remain eliminated from the game.
2. You can buy back into the game for $20.

If your name is drawn for a second time, sadly your time in Wine Survivor will have come to an end and you will be automatically eliminated. The tribe has spoken!

What can you win?? Actual prizes depend on the number of players. Prizes in bottles of wine (valued at $20 each) or in a gift card

First place wins 50% of the prize pool

Second place wins 35% of the prize pool

Third place wins 15% of the prize pool

First draw takes place next Monday December 12th at 8:30pm – Entries must be in by Sunday December 11th to be included in the game. Place your entries here: ENTRIES HERE
