We need volleyball coaches!
Volleyball season is here! This means that in order for our students to participate, we need coaches. Specifically, we're looking for a coach for the grades 7-9 girls volleyball team and it could be you! For more information or to sign up, please contact Mr McKague at chris@gaglardiacademy.ca. This is a great way to start working on your volunteer hours for this year! |
Like books and volunteering?
If so, the library needs you! Although our librarian already has a few awesome volunteers, we need a few more to help out with regular tasks such as checking in and reshelving books and "every now and then" tasks such as labelling and Mactacking new books. (Mactac is a protective plastic coating.) If you are a person who pays attention to detail and wants to have a cushy inside job to help complete your volunteer hours, contact Mrs Johnson at mary@gaglardiacademy.ca. |
Speaking of volunteering...
In order to volunteer at school, you'll need to complete a Criminal Record Check (CRC) which can be done online. BTW, did you know that once approved, you don't have to apply again for 5 years? It's true! If you plan on driving on field trips you'll not only need your CRC but to also complete a Driver's Abstract. And unlike the CRC, we ask that you complete it every year. And now you're informed! Just like that. :) For more infomation visit:
