On Wednesday April 14, 2010 we encourage students and staff to wear pink to school to show that we will not tolerate bullying at Gretna Green. Pink pins will be availble for all students so it will not be necessary to buy anything new if your child does not have pink clothing.
"Why Pink"
The Home and School Spell A Thon will kick off Monday, April 12. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATES ON THE FORMS SENT HOME TODAY ARE INCORRECT. THEY SHOULD READ APRIL, NOT MAY :) Students have a list of words to study and they will be tested on Friday, April 23. There are great prizes to be won for the top three pledge earners: 1st place is an Ipod Touch, 2nd place is a Nintendo DSi and 3rd place is a digital camera. Good luck to everyone. There is also a class prize of a Wii Entertainment System and prizes for those who earn $50.00 or more in pledges.
The salmon eggs have arrived courtesy of Mark Hambrook, marine biologist, from the Miramichi Fish Hatchery. This program will allow students to see the eggs hatch over a 6 to 8 week period. The salmon fry will then be released into the main South West Miramichi river sometime in June. The grade five students are very excited about this program. It also allows the students to study environmental issues, fish habitat and much more in conjunction with our Science curriculum!
The grade five students had a great time curling today. They learned many of the basic skills needed to play this fine winter sport. For many of our students it was their first time playing and it was a great experience. We would also like to thank Mr. Pinder for making this outing possible!
Thanks again to all our students and parents who helped make our grade five yard sale such a huge success! The money raised totalled over $270.00. The students were exceptionally pleased with the overall support shown towards their fundraising campaign. Great job Gretna Green!
It's time for the Grade 5 Yard Sale. It will be held tomorrow, March 31st. All items are $1.00 or less. Come out and help support our Grade 5 fundraising campaign for the end of the year trip.
This week Gretna Green students will have a chance to win this Easter Basket by making a guess on how many eggs are in the basket. Guesses will cost .25 cents each. Also, the Student Council will be organizing an Easter Egg Hunt for students on Thursday afternoon. Remember to wear your Easter colors on Thursday!!
