We are very pleased to announce that we can now run a Grade 2/3 basketball program for girls. Many thanks to Mrs. Sara Trevors who has volunteered to run this program! If you would like to assist her with this program she welcomes the help! The first practice will be this Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30.
Basketball starts this week for grades 4 and 5. The boys practice will be on Monday from 2:30 - 3:30 and the girls will practice on Wednesday from 2:30 - 3:30. Students must make arrangements to be picked up at 3:30. Unfortunately we are not able to offer the grade 2-3 program right now. It has been challenging find people that have time to coach. If you are interested please call the school at 778-6099.
Miramichi Hoops Association will be offering a program for grade 3 and 4 girls on Monday evening at 6:00 at Gretna Green. This will begin this week.
Fathers, grandfathers and members of our community had a special mission at Gretna Green on Saturday. They wanted to build a skating rink. Guess what? Mission accomplished! The students of Gretna Green now have their own rink, yeah! Thanks so much to all the great volunteers who came out and made this a reality for the students and community at Gretna Green. We look forward to the many great memories it will create for years to come!
The entire learning community of Gretna Green gathered on November 10th to pay tribute to our veterans in our annual remembrance day program. Our students showcased their talents through word and song and our veterans were sincerely impressed with the gracious ceremony. Thanks again to our entire staff and students along with our community volunteers who helped make this year's program a memorable one!
We are happy to inform you that our students in grades 3 to 5 will be skating at the Civic Center this coming Monday, November 14th.

The schedule is as follows: Grade 5- 9:00-9:45 Grade 4- 10:00-10:45 Grade 3- 11:00-11:45
Basketball starts November 21 for grades 4-5 and grades 2-3. We are still in need of coaches for both our grade 2-3 teams, the boys and girls. If you are interested please contact Mrs. Simmons or Mr. Comeau at 778-6099.
Mr. Comeau's grade three class recently created a cool video as an invitation to the honorable
minister of education, Jody Carr, to host our morning announcements.
Well, Mr. Carr tweeted yesterday that he would "love to" host our morning
announcements. Congratulations to the entire team on a job well done
and a special thank you to Mrs. Simmons for creating this unique
learning opportunity.
The Miramichi fire department responded to a special call at Gretna Green this evening. The special call included a $1000.00 donation towards our breakfast program. After many months of fundraising the local area fire fighters made a special donation to six area schools and we were one of them. The entire learning community of Gretna Green would like to thank all members for this random act of kindness and support!
