Grade 4 students in Mrs. Simmons' and Mme Dickson's class presented their genius hour presentations to students and invited guests this week. The session lasted the entire afternoon and allowed students to share their personally created slideshows and presentations based on a topic of interest to them. The presentations were exceptionally well done and a real showcase of the talent that strolls through the halls of GG on a daily basis!
All parents and students are reminded that this week is a three day week for students. There will be no school on both Thursday and Friday due to Teachers' annual NBTA AGM and Subject Council. Enjoy your extended weekend boys and girls!
The students and staff celebrated Earth Day this year with a buffet of great recycling ideas. Mrs. Arbeau and Mme Gallant's classes proved to be the hub of great ideas yesterday. Students displayed there recycling ideas and explained their rationale with written stories. Kindergartners Caden and Wynston created this cool checker made out of cardboard and tabs from aluminum cans. Well done GG!

The students of GG would like to thank Mr. Hallihan and his organizing committee for inviting us to his Outdoor Sportsman and Fly Fishing Symposium. We enjoyed fly tying, casting, archery and viewing the latest in robotics technology. It was a great learning experience for all of us!
GG was well represented at this year's ASD-N Music Festival. Students participated in choral readings, solo speeches, square dancing along with performances by our school choir. It proved to be an excellent experience for everyone involved and adjudicators were impressed with our student talent! Thanks again to our awesome teachers for providing this excellent learning experience.
