Prime Minister Harper took time to personally meet with Mrs Gardiner's grade 3 class during today's visit to the Miramichi. The students were permitted to ask him questions and engage in a great dialogue and great a wonderful learning experience for everyone involved. A special thanks to MP, Tilly O'Neill-Gordon for making this happen!
Students in grades 3-5 displayed a wide array of impressive STEM Fair projects for our entire school community this afternoon. It was amazing to see the amount of time, effort and imagination that went into creating such great projects. After much deliberation, five projects were selected to represent GG in the upcoming ASD-N STEM Fair on Wednesday, April 8th. The finalists are: Eliazabeth Cooper, Shahd Adoubali, Ryley Connell & Nathan Rupke, Kaelie Singleton & Aurora Sutton, Claire Wood. Congratulations!
Students wore all kinds of cool hats in class today and in exchange donated a loonie to a great cause; supporting the Miramichi Autism Society. A donation of all funds raised will go directly to this great association. Well done Gretna Green!
