Hello Glebe Families,
Apologies for the late GCI Update - see below:
School Council
- The next School Council meeting will be this coming Monday, May 12th starting at 7:00 in the GCI library. Here is the agenda:
- School Council Talk On: Understanding Youth Addiction: What Parents Need to Know
Are you concerned about your teen's relationship with drugs, alcohol, or screen time? You're not alone. Join us for an engaging and informative talk with Jessica Chesler and Amanda Watson, school-based counselors from Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services. We’ll explore the reality of addiction in today’s youth and how we can help. From social pressures to screen habits, we’ll discuss practical ways to support your teen and promote healthy choices.
Let's come together to learn, share, and take action in supporting our kids' well-being.
Tuesday April 15th at 7pm in the GCI RINC (library)
