  • providing advice to the school administration on applicable matters
  • providing parents and families with resources — workshops, education sessions, etc.
  • providing supplementary school resources — technology, in classroom tools, etc.
  • sponsoring in-class enrichment programs — Scientist in the School, Drama with Jeff, etc.
  • sponsoring zero-cost-to-student programs or events within the school — clubs, etc.
  • providing fun social events for the Gledhill community
  • engaging with the broader community

We look forward to hearing your ideas and seeing you at next Tuesday’s meeting.
