lay ahead. Soak up this well deserved break with family and friends

The grade 2s would like to sincerely thank Mrs. Sherri MacPherson (Jayden's mom) for doing an enrichment cluster on the "50s" theme with our grade 2 students today. The entire morning was filled with hands on activities that kept all of our students engaged in a fun filled cluster of learning! Thanks so much Sherri for putting in so many hours of prepartation, creativity and imagination into this memorable experience for our students! We really appreciate all the support that you along with other parents of Gretna Green have given us throughout the year.

All Gretna Green students are encouraged to attend. We are returning champions for the highest number of students participating in this great event, let's do it again this year!
The grade fives did their part in salmon conservation today. Over the past two months they raised salmon parr in their classroom and released them today into the Nor' West Miramichi. This learning opportunity reinforced the importance and fragility of our Atlantic Salmon in the Miramichi watershed.
A special thanks goes out to the Miramichi Boys & Girls Club who treated the students of Gretna Green to their Fun Zone. It was a great way to add a few laughs and good times to our day.
