Pick up your income tax receipts at the office.

Pick up your income tax receipts at the office.

PRO TIP: It's tempting to ask your children to pick up your receipts but please resist. Stats show that receipts which are NOT picked up by parents are more apt to go missing and we want you to get yours promptly! :)

Literacy Week starts on Tuesday

Literacy Week starts on Tuesday

Literary Week is February 21-24 and will be chock-full of fun book-loving activities. Plus, each day of Literacy Week is a Bonus Reading Day for grade K-7 students. Nice. 

But wait! There's more! Here's some Breaking News from our joyful Mrs Jones:

"Got books? We want them! Next week is Gaglardi's Annual Book Exchange in honour of Literacy Week! If you are looking to clear a little space on your bookshelves, we will gratefully accept any age-appropriate, gently used books and find them new homes. The exchange is on Thursday, February 23rd and books can be delivered right up until 9:00 am that morning. This is always a favourite event among the children each year and we thank you for your help in making it a success!"

A new volunteer opportunity just for you!

A new volunteer opportunity just for you!

Exciting news! We are expecting a shipment of 20 new student desks! This means we need to make some space; out with the old, in with the new! This is where you come in. We need volunteers to help remove, sort, and organize the furniture that is currently stored in the sea can located in the staff parking lot. If you have a truck and are willing to remove items to the dump this would be greatly appreciated.

This wonderful event is taking place on Saturday, February 25, at 9:00 am. For more information or to sign-up, please contact Mrs Mulgrew at accounts@gaglardiacademy.ca. This is another great way to help complete your 25 volunteer hours for the year!

"Stay on the path!" - Theatre Week 2023

"Stay on the path!" - Theatre Week 2023

Last week, our hallways were a sea of red shirts and excitement! Was it in anticipation of Valentine's Day the week following? Not this time. Our school is always full of fun and energy but the halls last week had an artistic buzz as students prepared for the theatre production with Missoula Theatre staff and participated in theatre workshops. And the red shirts certainly added to the thrill of the week. Thank you ...
