Morning Announcements

Day 2

The Easter Seals Ambassador, Colton Matheson, was here this morning to visit the students at Glen Stewart. We were able to present him with a cheque for $2500.00 from the students and staff. We would like to thank the parents, students and staff for all their hard work in the fundraising efforts.

Green Week: Students from Mrs Hambly's class read:
This week let's remember to turn off the lights when we are leaving the room for more than 5 min. Why not harness the power of the sun? Open those blinds and brighten up the room without turning on the lights. At home, ask your families about using energy efficient light bulbs. They last longer and use a lot less energy!

All week we will be collecting old batteries in the front lobby. Bring in your worn out batteries from home and we will make sure that they are recycled properly.

Grade 5 students will be cleaning up our playground this week. Litter is wasteful and many littered items could be reused or recycled. Did you know that it can take a piece of styrofoam or a plastic jug up to one million years to biodegrade? Prince Edward Island is one of the most beautiful places to live. Let's keep it that way!

Happy Birthday (April 20)
