Parents’ Night Out!

Posted on February 22, 2016 | Comments Off on Parents’ Night Out!

Thank you to all of the Gledhill parents, friends and staff who came out and made Friday night’s Trivia Night and Silent Auction a big success. Our trivia host, Terrance Balazo, kept us all on our game with some challenging trivia. Awesome job Terrance. Terrance gave us a shout out on twitter …

A big thanks to the many Gledhill parents and community businesses that donated items and services for the Silent Auction. It was a popular auction and, of course, helped Gledhill’s School Council raise funds for some of the programs we sponsor at the school. Finally, thanks to the organizing team (Jill, Lisa, Melissa and Andrea), volunteers and school administration for taking care of all of the logistical, behind the scenes preparation (this event couldn’t have been an adults only, licensed event without a bit of planning!)

Posted on February 17, 2016 | Comments Off on Silent Auction Items

We hope you are planning to attend the Trivia Night and Silent Auction event this Friday February 19 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Last year’s event was a lot of fun and we’re hoping that this year is even better. We have collected many great items for the silent auction including …

  • Tragically Hip memorabilia,
  • tickets for Kinky Boots,
  • tickets for Young People’s Theatre,
  • classes with Theatricks (Drama with Jeff),
  • Arbonne gift baskets,
  • jewelry,
  • and much more!

Please donate!  We have been very fortunate to receive many donations from parents already and we truly appreciate the generosity of our parent community. We ask if you have already offered a donation that you bring the item to the school’s office by Thurs. Feb. 18. For anyone who has not yet donated, but may be able to, please email us at gledhillschoolcouncil@gmail.com.

We are looking forward to a great event and we hope to see many of you on Friday!

This coming Friday, February 19th, Gledhill School Council is hosting our third annual Parents Night Out. This ever popular evening of Trivia combined with a Silent Auction will be an adults only event – yes, it will be licensed!

We are still in need of a few volunteers for the event. If you are willing and able to dedicate some of your evening, we need volunteers for the following …

  • 2 volunteers to help sell tickets at the door and to help clear tables, etc.
  • 2 volunteers to help with table and chair clean up at the end of the evening (10:00-ish)

Please contact gledhillschoolcouncil@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out.

Start brushing up on your trivia knowledge now! Hope to see many of you there!

Trivia Night is Back!

Posted on February 10, 2016 | Comments Off on Trivia Night is Back!

One of our most popular fundraisers/fun-raisers is coming up next Friday February 19th, in the school gym: Trivia with quizmaster Terrance Balazo! $10 gets you in the door, $5 gets you a drink — and all the money goes right to school council programs and events, like Drama with Jeff and Scientists in the Schools (such a worthy cause, you could even have two drinks…).  Bring your friends! You really don’t need to be a trivia whiz to have fun with this (trust me, I’m speaking from experience here…).  Rumour has it there will be a silent auction as well — watch this space for more details.

Oh, and this is a grownups only event (19+).  We look forward to seeing you there!

Happy New Year and welcome back from the holidays!

A highlight of Council activities for the last two months of 2015:

The Gledhill School Council, spearheaded by Melissa Hillier, organized ‘Gledhill Marlies Day’ in November and over 400 people attended! It was a great event to raise money for the school and have fun. The Gledhill Choir did an amazing job signing ‘Oh Canada’ and Gledhill beat a record by having the most choir members sing at a Marlies event. Some of our Gledhill kids also had the opportunity to welcome the hockey players onto the ice in ‘the tunnel’ and we got to skate on the ice after the game. The event also raised over $2,800 to support Council-funded initiatives. We thank everyone who came out and supported the day.

The QSP magazine fundraiser was also held. If anyone is still interested in buying magazines, they can do so all year by ordering online at: http://www.qsp.ca/login/StudentInfo (you can find this link anytime on the right side bar of the this blog).

The Council also hosted a Coffee and Conversation event in December where we were able to connect with parents and enjoy our morning coffee. Thank you to Sam Kazak for organizing the event.

A pizza lunch was held in December for the school. It is a favourite event for parents and students and raised over $500. Thank you to Lexi Etinger for organizing and for all the parents who volunteered to serve the pizza.

Council-funded programs such as Drama with Jeff and Scientist in the School have also been continuing in the classrooms.

Looking ahead, the Council has the following planned:

  • Friday January 8 – Coffee and Conversation in the morning behind the school
  • Friday January 15 – Movie Night
  • Tuesday January 26, 6pm to 7:30pm – School Council Meeting (all welcome!)
  • Friday January 29 – Pizza lunch for students
  • Friday February 19 – Trivia Night / Silent Auction (we are looking for donations for the silent auction – please email: thegledhillguardian@gmail.com)
  • TBC – Family potluck

Thank you to all the parents who volunteer their time to make these events a reality. Also thank you to our school administration and our teachers for their continued support and assistance!
