Kevin Gallant from Miramichi NBCC came to Gretna Green today to present our very own Mme Gallant with funding for a grant. Mme received 750.00 in funding for the purchase of technology to support her and her students in their learning. We are so proud of you Mme, way to go!!!
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.
The last day of school will be a half day with an early dismissal at 11:15. All students are asked to please inform their teachers if they are being picked up or taking the bus on this day, thank you.

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.
Our very own Lauren placed in the top three for our final ASD-N bike race series hosted at our school. She placed second in the final race and third in the first race. Well done Lauren and thanks again to all those Gretna Greeners who came out to participate in this fun filled event!
Our grade 5 boys have spent the past few weeks creating and building new games at GG for all students to enjoy. They painted new lines on our asphalt and playground area to accomodate these new physical activities. Today they spent their time helping students in grade two understand the games and allowed them to play and try them out. A great time was had by all. We have some wonderful leaders at Gretna Green. Well done boys!
