Mr. Comeau and Mme Gallant's students were invited to view an array of Christmas projects and plays today produced by Immersion students at Dr. Losier. The entire experience was very rewarding for all of our students. The students created all their projects in French and shared them with our students. We were exceptionally well received by Mme Matchett and her team of students and the vast array of talent proved to be a great kick off to the Christmas spirit!
The Gretna Green Home & School continued their annual Christmas movie tradition at the theatre over the weekend. The turn out was great and a wonderful time was had by all. Thanks again to our Home & School executive and members. Your support and school involvement is very much appreciated!
Today marks the final day of Mr. Cabel's teaching practicum at Gretna Green Elementary. Although Mr. Cabel has only spent four months within our school his legacy of innovative projects, ideas and learning opportunities for both teachers and students will last for many years to come. His technological expertise was probably best exemplified with his recent production of our Christmas concert DVD! For those of you who purchased this professional keepsake you can thank Mr. Cabel for its overall quality. Thanks again Mr.

Gretna Green recently received some news worth celebrating! We were designated the first official SMART SHOWCASE elementary school in the entire province. The teachers and students of Gretna Green have embraced the use of SMART technologies within our classes. A wide variety of SMART technologies are used by all of our learners on a daily basis. This has provided a diversified learning environment for many of our students. Bravo Gretna Green we are all so proud of this awesome accomplishment!!
