There will be no school for students on Thursday, May 2nd and Friday, May 3rd. Teachers will be involved in professional development sessions and their annual NBTA AGM.
Our first "Career Day at Gretna Green" was held on Friday and proved to be a huge success for everyone involved. Students and staff were encouraged to come to school dressed up in what they wanted to be when they grew up. This culminated with all students being paid a special visit by the Miramichi Police, Miramichi Fire Department, Rogers Cabel 10 and DNR. Students were prepared with questions for our special guests and given a taste of what their selected professions looked like on any given day. Thanks again to Mr. Stewart for making this special memory for our students happen!
