Sobeys recently sent out a challenge to our local community and the community spirit of the Miramichi responded! Sobeys customers were asked to make monetary donations in support of our local schools. The generosity of our local community enabled Sobeys to hand out $500.00 worth of gift cards to nine different schools throughout district 16. Gretna Green Elementary was the first proud recipient of these gift cards. Thanks so much to the community of Miramichi and to Sobeys for making this possible.
The students got a special visit today from some pretty cool basketball players. Players from the St.John Mill Rats team came to school to deliver a message regarding the importance of physical fitness. They also displayed some of their talents and our very own teachers also displayed some of their own basketball skills. A great time was had by all!
