Daily Announcements- Friday March 29 (Day 2)

What’s coming up?

Highlights from this morning’s announcements:

“I would like to acknowledge that this school is situated upon traditional territories. The territories include the Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha, Alderville First Nation and the Métis Nation. The treaty that was signed for this particular parcel of land is collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923 and applies to lands east of Woodbine Avenue. I also recognize the enduring presence of Aboriginal peoples on this land.”

  1. Hi, we are from the EcoClub.  Today we would like to share with you some tips and ideas on minimizing plastic.
    1. Say no to straws- stop using them
    2. When your parents go grocery shopping, remind them to bring their own reusable bags
    3. Bring a reusable water bottle to school
    4. Pack your lunch in reusable containers
    5. Give up gum.  Gum is made of a synthetic rubber, meaning plastic.

Do your part to help the Earth.  Cut the plastic.

  1. Hi everyone!  Did you know that today is World Water Day?  Water is essential to every living thing’s ability to survive and be healthy.  Many people and animals around the world do not have access to clean, healthy water.  Did you also know that the water we have on our planet today is the same water from billions of years ago?  We cannot make new water.  We can only recycle it.  Let’s think about how our actions can protect this super-important resource today.
  2. Today is a good day for classrooms to send their paper recycling to the bins in the basement.
  3. If you have been chosen to join the Eco-Club, please take your permission form to Mme. Leclerc or Ms. Roshi.  We will meet next Thursday Eco-Tigers.
  4. This is an announcement for all the Young Women on the Move. Please meet in Room 30 at 1130.  Bring your lunch.

X Movement is back at Gledhill this week with “X Fusion”

The school administration is pleased to have X Movement back at Gledhill this week. Over the past two years, students have participated in their Aussie X and X Dance programs. This week it’s X Fusion!

Each class at Gledhill, JK through Grade 5, will have three sessions of X Fusion this week.

“X Fusion explores self-regulation through a mix of high-intensity fitness and mindful movement. Students are guided to identify their feelings and emotions, choose their desired state, and use physical action to achieve it. By the end, they’ll be equipped with the steps to self-regulate: Feel, Choose, Fuse.”
