Daily Announcements & Updates

Hello Glebe Families,

Last update before the final month of school below:

School Council

• The next School Council meeting will be this coming Monday, May 12th starting at 7:00 in the GCI library.
  
  
• It's the most wonderful time of the year! The birds are singing, the strawberries are ripening and folks are getting ready for the Strawberry Social!

For all staff at Glebe CI, that means clearing their schedule for lunchtime to enjoy time with colleagues and fantastic food. For families at the school, it means putting our hearts into providing a gorgeous lunch to say thanks for all that the teachers, admin and  staff at Glebe CI give to our kids (and us) each day. 

Please note, lunch starts at 11:15am, so all food must be delivered by 11am at the latest so we can make sure the delicious spread is ready.  Volunteers will be at the school entrance to collect food from 8:30am until 11am.  Hot dishes can't be reheated at the school, so please arrange to deliver as close to 11am as possible if your dish is meant to be served hot.

This is a great way to show our appreciation, and to connect with other families at the school. Please sign up to provide a snack or some volunteer time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to pascalepergant@gmail.com

Carleton Journalism School Competition

Carleton University held their first high school journalism awards ceremony this past Saturday on their campus. The day consisted of workshops that covered some writing, story idea generation, recording and producing professional-quality audio, as well as a meal and award ceremony in the later afternoon. There were 6 categories and many submissions. Here are the highlights.

School Community Feature

This category honours features that cover a story or subject related to one’s school community with significant depth and insight, outlining its value and connection to the school and its network and community.

Authors for our Glebe Gazette took home second place for the article 'More than a fundraiser', which gave the reader great insight about the CHEO drive.

Best Video Feature

This category honours exceptional and innovative work in reporting and storytelling with video, including animation. Anyone who was able to watch our Remembrance Day Ceremony would know our student work would certainly fit this category. Not wanting to prove the masses wrong, our students took home first and second place!

1st Place - Walk Them Home

2nd Place - RCAF Lisgar/Glebe Concert Collaboration

Congrats to all the students on their awesome achievement.

Library

The Multi-Language Learner Summer Celebration is taking place at lunch on Thursday, June 5th in the Library. All ML students are welcome to participate. They will learn about fun, free, community activities to participate in and to make plans with each other to enjoy the summer.

The Glebe Blue and Golds can see the Redblacks Home Opener for a special price!

- Amazing opportunity for the entire Glebe community to see the Redblacks vs the Alouettes at Lansdowne at 7:30pm on Friday June 13th. 

Please note - This is not a field trip with supervision, just a great opportunity for the Glebe community to get together for a fun evening!

- Special section for Glebe CI friends and family (wear your Glebe Wear), and if we sell 250 tickets, Glebe gets a pre-game meet and greet on the field with the players!

Thank you,

Glebe CI Staff
