1. This is a message from the Eco Club! Here at Gledhill we don’t like litter and waste. It’s harmful and impacts plants and people. In an effort to reduce waste, we will have a Litterless Lunch Contest this week! Tomorrow at lunch, Eco Club members will come around to see who is bringing a litterless lunch to school. If you are caught doing so, your name will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a prize. We know that you all do a great job daily. Please keep those litterless lunches coming. And don’t forget: Litterless lunch means no using juice boxes or yoghurt containers. Thank You!
2. Eco Club meets tomorrow in Rm 6. Please be there on time and bring your outdoor gear with you.
3. Young Women on the Move is tomorrow in Rm 30 at lunch.
