Time to Boogie! – Gledhill’s Annual Dance-a-thon is Next Friday, May 11th

Posted on May 2, 2018 | Comments Off on Time to Boogie! – Gledhill’s Annual Dance-a-thon is Next Friday, May 11th

 

It’s time for Gledhill students to put on their dancing shoes. The one and only Gledhill Dance-a-thon is coming soon. On Friday, May 11th all students, JK through Grade 6, will join their classmates and head down to the gym at a scheduled time during the school day and discover that it has been transformed! They will dance their heart out to raise money for our school. Amazing music will once again be brought to you by DJ Rhino.

The Dance-a-thon is one of our School Council’s key fundraisers for the year. All money raised will be used to fund enrichment programs at Gledhill such as: Drama with Jeff, Scientists in the School and Skate Day.

We are hoping that all who can, will help us raise an average of $25 per student through pledges from family and friends. All students will have the opportunity to participate in the Dance-a-thon regardless of the amount they raise.

Donations can be collected two ways:

  1. QUICK & EASY METHOD – Online at www.sagoto.com/gsc/dance 
  2. Using a Pledge Form (showing up soon in a backpack near you – or print one HERE) and then return it with all cash and cheques to the classroom teacher by Friday, May 11th.

Feel free to share the online donation link with family and friends so they can sponsor your child easily!

*As per TDSB policy, tax receipts will be issued for individual donations of $25 or more (cash, cheque or online donation).

If you have any questions regarding Dance-a-thon or you would like to volunteer, please contact thegledhillguardian@gmail.com.

Healthy, Litter-less Lunches at Gledhill

Posted on May 1, 2018 | Comments Off on Healthy, Litter-less Lunches at Gledhill
Gledhill’s Eco-Club and the Healthy Kids Committee are on a mission to remind kids about healthy & sugar free lunches and to promote litter-less lunches.
Eco-club made visits to the lunch-room to find out which students had a litter-less lunch. Their names were entered in a draw for some fun prizes. Four students won a prize out of a very high number of participants!
What exactly were we looking for? Well here’s what:

1. Reusable drink containers with water to drink (no juice or pop)

2. Reusable food containers. No garbage. (Easy to open and BPA free Tupperware are available at the Dollarama)

3. Sugar free lunch and snack.

Let’s work together to keep the trash out of our schoolyard, keep our bodies healthy and strong, and love our planet!

Gledhill’s Eco-Club runs every Thursday at lunch. Our Walking Wednesday campaign starts soon to promote healthy and sustainable transportation. We will also begin planning our vegetable and pollinator gardens this month.
