Some students at Gretna Green were provided with a unique learning experience today. Local historian and authority of Miramichi history shared his knowledge in a series of recorded interviews with students Drew S., Drew Mac., Samantha, Isabella and Molly under the guidance of Mrs. Charlotte Loggie. This project proved to be a great learning experience for everyone involved. Stay tuned for the official viewing of these great vignettes of Douglastown history!

The monthly Go Go Getter student of the month award along with the Dynamo Dragon Class award were handed out on Friday. This month's student awards were given to Nicolas Gallant and Ryelee Harding while the class awards were given to Mme Dickson and Mrs. Girouard's class. There are many fine students at Gretna Green and it is always nice to have a few of them recognized for their efforts!
Mme Gallant and her students went on a "virtual field trip" to Croft Elementary today. They skyped in Mlle Robichaud's grade 5 Intensive French class and shared some French stories they created via skype. Having each student dress in their Halloween costume was a nice added touch! Bravo mes ami(e)s!!!

Each and every year at Gretna Green Elementary parents volunteer countless hours without hesitation in order to help make Gretna Green a great place to learn. Well, this week some of these volunteers were honored for their dedicated service towards our learning community.
Ms. Page along with her awesome grade five students from Croft paid us a special visit today. They gave us a great presentation on their campaign to collect non perishable food items while students are trick or treating for Halloween this year. Any student wishing to participate can bring their non perishable food item to school the day after Halloween and we will make sure their items are delivered to the food bank. Croft's goal is to collect 1000 lbs in non perishable food items for our local food bank.
