Thanks to the Douglastown Gretna Green Scouts club and parents of Gretna Green our playground green space recieved a face lift over the weekend. Many hours were spent delimbing and removing dead trees to improve the overall accesibility of this renewed green space adjacent to our playground. Great job everyone, the new look is awesome!

The Drama Club is in need of green Christmas trees to use as background for their production of Sleeping Beauty. In the recent memo to Drama and Choir students, they were asked to return the bottom of the form if they had any trees that could be used in the play. We have not received any trees to date, so we are appealing to the Gretna Green community. If you have a green Christmas tree, big or small, that you could lend us, please contact Ms.
Drama students are reminded to study their cues, lines, and directions each and every night! You must have your lines memorized... you must know when to say them... you must know your actions! Our performance is two weeks away so we must have our cues, lines, and directions perfected. Students are to review these nightly.
Congratulations to Catherine Austen, winner of this year's Hackmatack Award (English Fiction) for children's literature. Ms. Austen read selections from her award-winning novel during her presentation to our Grade 4 students last week. Our students are very fortunate to have met an award-winning author! Her winning novel, 26 Tips for Surviving Grade 6, is highly recommended by our Hackmatack members. Check it out!
