On ​Friday, September 29th our Aboriginal Advocate, Rose Alexis, coordinated a gathering for Orange Shirt Day.  Orange Shirt Day is a day where we recognize the survivors that attended residential schools.  The GME students and staff gathered in a circle on our field - with our aboriginal students standing in the inner part of the circle. Our aboriginal students along with Ms. Alexis led us in the Okanagan Song, accompanied by their drums. This was followed by observing a Smudging Ceremony. Each class had submitted an intention and they were read aloud by Cathie Mutter, our Acting Principal.  What a powerful time of reconciliation.

​There is a non-instructional day on Friday, Nov. 3rd.  Students do not attend classes this day.

Thank you to Mrs. Springer and her team of volunteers for coordinating our upcoming Book Swap this month. Start to set aside some children's books to donate (no board books please).  Students can begin to bring in their books on October 23rd.   The Book Swap transpires during the school day on Friday, October 27th.  Your child will bring home new books on the 27th!

​HOME OF THE GRIZZLIES!

​Schools are closed on Monday, November 13th as Remembrance Day is observed.  Lest we forget.

School is not in session on Friday, October 20rd as teachers have a Professional Development day.

​GME is rich in leadership opportunities for our intermediate students.  Pictured here is one of our intermediate students (Big Buddy) reading to his primary friend (Little Buddy).  Way to go, Grizzlies!

​Remember to bring $1 on Thursdays each week to support our GME PAC by purchasing a bag of popcorn.  The line up is outside the activity room and sells out quickly!
