Gracefield Movie Night Thursday, October 29th
Join us for the showing of the movie Coco in our gymnasium. Snack packs and pizza will be available for purchase in advance. Bring a water bottle, bring a blanket, and enjoy watching a movie as a school community. Hope to see you there!
Gracefield Visitor Artist Nicole Bauberger Wednesday October 14th
Mrs. Di Roma’s sister has graciously offered to volunteer to provide a day of Storytelling Workshops for the students at Gracefield on Wednesday, October 14th. She will work with each class in the school, sharing the art of storytelling with the students. She is a professional artist, writer, curator, musician and an award winning arts educator. I encourage you to check out her website at https://www.nicolebauberger.com/
School Council Mabel’s Labels Fundraiser
Ready to kick off the year with something awesome? Gracefield is partnering with Mabel’s Labels, and we get 20% of every sale — yes, twenty percent — to help support our kids and their school needs.
Hop onto the fundraising page, search Gracefield Public School (St. Catharines), and go wild designing your labels. Keep an eye out — our school logo will be uploaded soon! Or you can click on the following link https://mabelslabels.ca/en-CA/fundraising/support
Let’s make our Lost & Found box disappear like magic. Label everything and keep those treasures where they belong.
Funds raised this year through fundraisers and Council Events will go towards supporting the teacher classroom fund, our playground maintenance fund, and the future purchase of a new projector and screen for the gymnasium.
