Here is our weekly update of events and information for Greystone Centennial Middle School. 

Dress for the Weather

As we plunge into winter weather, it is important that students are coming to school ready to go outside. We are outside 15 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at lunch. We follow Environment Canada's weather statements, and students go outside for recess until we reach -23 or lower, with or without the windchill.

Snowed In

Our annual Snowed In event will be held on Thursday, December 19 from 6:00-8:00 PM

For those families that are new to Greystone, this evening will include musical performances from our students in Grade 5 through 9 as well as a variety of family centered activities throughout the building.  We encourage all our families to attend!

What to expect:

• Snowed In: The Musical (Grade 7-9 Option students & our 3 choirs) - 6:00-6:40 PM (Gym)
• Class Performances (Grade 5 and 6 Students) - 6:40-8:00 PM (Gym)
• Various Stations: Photo booth, Holiday Craft; Hot Chocolate, etc.
• FOGS - Raffle Basket Fundraiser during the event 
• FOGS - Final Day for purchase 50/50 Tickets through the Raffle Box Platform (https://www.rafflebox.ca/raffle/fogs)

The deadline for forms has been extended to December 13th. There are only a few spots left. See Mr. Arndt for a form and additional information.

Spruce Grove Saints Visit

Grade 6 students had a visit from Spruce Grove Saints hockey players on Wednesday. They enjoyed asking them questions about how they became hockey players and lessons they have learned along the way.

Basketball Tryouts

Here are the tryout details for Junior Basketball

Jr. A Girls 2 (LC 5/6/7) - December 3 - 3:45 - 5:15; December 5 - Lunch Hour

Jr. B Boys (LC5/6/7) - December 2 - 3:45 - 5:15; December 4 - Lunch Hour

In Search of Volunteers - repeat

FOGS (Friends of Greystone Society) is looking for adult volunteers to help out with pop up lunches. These lunches differ from the 'hot lunch' program, where items are sold directly in our pods rather than pre-ordered. The dates are as follows:

• Tuesday, December 10
• Tuesday, January 14

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact FOGS vice-president Chantelle at cschenk73@gmail.com or by phone at 780-983-4722

Career Fair - UPDATE 

Due to the Grade 9 Quebec trip, we have shifted our CAREER FAIR to Tuesday, January 28th from 9:30-12:30. Greystone’s Career Fair Committee is asking parents, community members and friends to come in and speak about their career choice and give students an insight to a career that they may have never considered or already have an interest in and want to find out more.

If you would be interested in being one of our presenters for the day please email Janie Scheidl at janie.scheidl@psd.ca with your name, career, a brief description of what you do, and a phone number at which you can be contacted.  You may also leave a message with reception in the general office.  If you are able to volunteer your time, we would be so grateful.  Refreshments will be provided.  

Share a Thought Survey- repeat

We want your feedback!

Use our Share a Thought Survey to let us know what is on your mind.  We work hard as a staff to consider your feedback when making decisions regarding many aspects of the school.  

Hot Lunch Update - repeat

Below you will find the schedule for hot lunch this year.  This schedule can also be found on the GCMS website.  If you do not yet have a hot lunch account please see this document for instructions on how to get set up.
