The entire learning community of Gretna Green Elementary would like to extend their sincerest thank you to this year's Grade Five Year Book Committee. Student members were Haylie, Taylor, Emily and Taufah. We would also like to extend a special thank you to our school secretary, Mrs. Clark, who oversaw the entire project! The year books were a big hit among our students at the grade five banquet. We appreciate the number of dedicated hours and effort put into this formidable memoir over the last two months of school by the entire committee!
The grade five students ended their year with a congratulatory banquet for the entire team. A special celebratory nod went out to Zachary N., Taufah, Jarred and Janessa who all received special year end awards. The students all reminisced about their fond memories of Gretna Green and thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon! Check out our latest image gallery for some of the highlights.
The grade five students acknowledged our very own Mrs. B. Briggs upon her retirement after many years of service in our school cafeteria. Each student presented her with a personal written anecdote of why she will be missed by all of us. Mrs. Briggs was then presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and song. Good luck to you Mrs. Briggs. We will all miss you!
Gretna Green Elementary is officially closed for the summer. School re-opens again on Tuesday September 7, 2010. We hope all our students and school community have a safe and happy summer!

The grade five students played an important role in the conservation of our Miramichi Atlantic salmon. They released their salmon fry on Friday into the Little South West Miramichi. This was followed by a tour of the Miramichi Fish Hatchery. A great time was had by all and we look forward to doing it again next year!
