It’s that time of year again when we elect a new School Council Executive (Chair/Co-chair, Secretary and Treasurer) and a variety of chair positions.
The Gledhill School Council is a group of parents, school administrators and school staff who are dedicated to ensuring that the children attending our school get the most out of their education and time at Gledhill.
Each Gledhill parent brings their own set of unique skills and experiences and we encourage everyone to consider where theirs could be helpful to the council.
Please join us Thursday, Sept 22th at 6:00pm for our first meeting and election. The meeting will be in the library on the 2nd floor. We will discuss the role of School Council and review our elected positions. At that point, anyone interested in putting their name forward for a council role will be encouraged to do so and voting will take place. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of whether they are interested in holding an elected position or not.
Pizza and child care will be provided!
Can’t make the meeting? No worries. You can fill out your voting ballot in the school office from Friday, Sept 23 through Tuesday, Sept 27. Results will be announced on Wednesday, Sept 28th.

This year’s Family Fest was another fantastic event with lots of families, great weather, excellent food, a 50/50 draw, expanded bouncy castle selection, dance and Tae Kwon Do performances, a photo booth, a barber and, of course, face painting. We even sold over 100 Gledhill water bottles!
Thank you to all of the parents, students, staff and community members 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.
