We’ve Got Robots!

Posted on November 26, 2017 | Comments Off on We’ve Got Robots!

Over the last few years, our librarian, Ms Kopka, has been holding a couple of Scholastic book fairs each year. This past week, as the fall book fair was wrapping up, she showed us some of the exciting new additions she was able to purchase with the proceeds of previous book fairs. After each book fair, Scholastic allows schools to receive a combination of credits towards Scholastic Books and cash to use elsewhere. Ms Kopka uses the credits to buy library books and classroom resources housed in the library. And, with the cash, she can buy other things like… ROBOTS! Ms Kopka has purchased 5 pairs of “Dot and Dash” Robots for the library. The students control the Robots using apps on the iPads and the software has activities geared to kids K-6. Ms Kopka has started to use them with her library classes and Maker Space Club to teach kids things like letter recognition, graphing coordinates and coding. A big THANK YOU to all students and parents who purchased books at this year’s fair and also to the parents who were able to do a shift at the cash out table. The fair would not happen without you!

A Big 80s Night THANK YOU!

Posted on November 21, 2017 | Comments Off on A Big 80s Night THANK YOU!
On Saturday, November 18th, Gledhill School Council hit 88 mph, traveled back in time and held our 1st 80s Dance Party and Silent Auction. It was a huge success and we raised about $5000 for Gledhill Council funded programs.
The council wants to thank all the parents, friends, teachers and community members, including Janet Davis, who came out to support our school.
A totally tubular thank you goes out to Chantal, Marni, Scarlett and Melissa who certainly know how to put on a rad event.
A huge thank you also goes out to The Royal Canadian Legion and to DJ Rhino who kept us dancing well past midnight with those retro tunes.  Also, to everyone who purchased auction items and who donated to our auction – thank you for helping our event be such a success!
Finally, thank you to the parents who donated their time helping out at the event.
Please see HERE for a complete list of donors.
