Our Home & School meeting scheduled for Wednesday, September 21st has been rescheduled to Wednesday, September 28th at 6:30 pm. The meeting will be held at Gretna Green and all parents are invited to attend!
We thought we would share this special moment with you; our learning community. During our recent meet the teacher session, Mrs. O'Toole seized the opportunity to meet her new kindergarten and engage in some small chat. She asked the question to one young boy, "So how is your year going so far?". The boy responded, "Well kindergarten is better than preschool but not as good as Magic Mountain!" So there you have it; our quote of the week. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Greetings everyone! Gretna Green would like to get moving on clearing out some trails in Story Land park in the very near future. The existing main trail needs to have some brush and trees removed to make it more accessbile for our mountain bike program which will start soon. If any one within our learning community is able to help in anyway with this project please contact Mr. Comeau comeakei@nbed.nb.ca, Mrs. Simmons carolyn.simmons@nbed.nb.ca or simply call the school at 778-6099. Thank You!
Our students voted this morning for this year's Student Council Executive. The results are as follows: Secretary: Evan (3C), Vice President: Molly (4D), President: Megan (5H). Congratulations to each and everyone of you. We also have some exciting news for the other candidates as well. They will now form the student council committee for this year. Thanks again to Mrs. Morehouse for organizing this year's student council.
The students, staff and teachers held a back to school rally today and had a great time! There is always lots to celebrate at Gretna Green and that was certainly true today! Our first celebrating student success certificates were handed out today along with some special prize giveaways to Empire Theatre! The rally was then topped off with a Zumba dance lead by Ms. Hitchman and our awesome grade five students. A great time was had by all. Check out our image gallery for some of the highlights!
The Home & School are off and running into another awesome year at Gretna Green! They will also be doing everyone's favorite recess snack once a week again this year ... popcorn!!! Popcorn will be available for all students at recess on Wednesday's for 50 cents starting on Wednesday, September 13th.
The teachers have been busy at Gretna Green preparing for our first day of school on September 6th. Schedules are complete, the school is sparkly clean, classrooms are decorated but there is one thing missing, students! We are looking forward to your return back home to Gretna Green. We would also like to welcome our new kindergarten students as well as other new students joining us for the new year. Enjoy the remainder of your summer holidays and we all look forward to enjoying another memorable year of learning experiences at Gretna Green!!!
Who said learning did not start until September 6th? Not a unique group of Elementary students who recently participated in the first ever Student Media Leader Camp held at Gretna Green! St.
A reminder to parents and students that teachers at Gretna Green will be purchasing all school supplies for their classes. Students are asked to bring in a School Supply fee the first day of school. The fee is $40.00 for Kindergarten and $50.00 for grades 1 to 5. This fee can be split in two, with the first half in September, and the second half after Christmas.
We look forward to seeing all our students again September 6th. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
