This is sure to bring fun and excitement to the classrooms at our school!!! There will be a $2.00 fee to enter your pet’s photo into the competition. Students can enter more than one pet.

The entire learning community of Gretna Green is extremely pleased to announce a wonderful new partnership between our school and Tim Horton’s. This partnership will provide a unique learning opportunity for our students and engage our school teachers. Our plan is to refurbish our existing Story Land Park so that it is a multipurpose space that will be used during all seasons for all subject areas. We plan to redo the trail system, plant native trees and plants, and create a biking trail. The learning opportunities that will be created with this funding are endless!
This year's basketball season is in full swing at Gretna Green. The boys and girls participating this year are having lots of fun.

We would like to take this opportunity in thanking this year's coaches for doing such a great job. They are, Ms. Hitchman, Ms. Moody, Mr. Ryan, Ms. Matheson, Ms. Gardiner and Ms.
