Thanks so much to the Humphreys' family who donated a "happy face" cookie to each and every student of Gretna Green today! It was a great way to start off our week and "sweeten" our day.
Gretna Green was buzzing with action this weekend or was it chainsaws? Dads and grand dads worked together to clear out some new biking trails as we continue to give the green space of Gretna Green a new look. These trails will serve as snow shoeing trails in the winter. Thanks again to John, Kris, Guy, Jason, Tommy, Mr. Ryan and Mr. Comeau. Meanwhile, Harold Simmons put the finishing touches to our gazebo. Thanks Harold! Gretna Green is a great place to be!
Gretna Green is looking forward to seeing you at our first annual Fall Fair to be held on October 1st from 1:00-4:00 pm. Come and enjoy an array of activities and fun for the entire family! Jumpy castles, face painting, family photos and an assortment of Fall Fair games will keep everyone entertained. In addition to this special event,Towne Ford.
The entire learning community of Gretna Green would like to thank two dads who recently volunteered an entire day to build a new set of bike racks for our new mountain bikes. Parents like Kim McKibbon and Kelly Johnson make Gretna Green Elementary a great place to be! Thank you both so much for enriching the learning experience of our awesome students.
Our Home & School meeting scheduled for Wednesday, September 21st has been rescheduled to Wednesday, September 28th at 6:30 pm. The meeting will be held at Gretna Green and all parents are invited to attend!
We thought we would share this special moment with you; our learning community. During our recent meet the teacher session, Mrs. O'Toole seized the opportunity to meet her new kindergarten and engage in some small chat. She asked the question to one young boy, "So how is your year going so far?". The boy responded, "Well kindergarten is better than preschool but not as good as Magic Mountain!" So there you have it; our quote of the week. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Greetings everyone! Gretna Green would like to get moving on clearing out some trails in Story Land park in the very near future. The existing main trail needs to have some brush and trees removed to make it more accessbile for our mountain bike program which will start soon. If any one within our learning community is able to help in anyway with this project please contact Mr. Comeau comeakei@nbed.nb.ca, Mrs. Simmons carolyn.simmons@nbed.nb.ca or simply call the school at 778-6099. Thank You!
Our students voted this morning for this year's Student Council Executive. The results are as follows: Secretary: Evan (3C), Vice President: Molly (4D), President: Megan (5H). Congratulations to each and everyone of you. We also have some exciting news for the other candidates as well. They will now form the student council committee for this year. Thanks again to Mrs. Morehouse for organizing this year's student council.
The students, staff and teachers held a back to school rally today and had a great time! There is always lots to celebrate at Gretna Green and that was certainly true today! Our first celebrating student success certificates were handed out today along with some special prize giveaways to Empire Theatre! The rally was then topped off with a Zumba dance lead by Ms. Hitchman and our awesome grade five students. A great time was had by all. Check out our image gallery for some of the highlights!
