Grizzly Athletes
Boys Soccer
Our junior boys, coached by Mr. Vingerhoeds, participated
in the Section 4 Upper Canada DSB tournament. The boys
braved the cold that day and displayed great sportsmanship
as they played against their opponents.
Cross Country Running
Coached by Ms. Fullarton and Mme Wilson, our boys and
girls teams competed at Grays creek last month. From there,
6 of our runners qualified to run in Brockville at the Upper
Canada Cup. All of our runners represented our school with
class. Way to go Grizzlies! We are proud of you.
Remembrance Day
Each November, over thirteen million poppies blossom in
Canada. The poppy is the symbol that individuals use to
show that they remember those who were killed in the wars
and peace keeping operations that Canada has been involved
in.
Our Remembrance Day Assembly will be held in the gym on
Tuesday, November 11th at 10:30 am. Gladstone families
are welcome to attend and pay their respects.
OSPCA School Fundraiser

Be on the look-out for more details as Gladstone PS students
prepare to make a difference in their local and global
communities. We always finish by building a clean drinking
well in India; but we will start with a donation drive for the
SDG chapter of the OSPCA.
Participaction
Participaction week starts Nov. 24th. Mrs. Wilson will be
leading us in daily activities designed to get us moving,
increase our heart rates, and have fun while doing it. We will
end with Jersey Day. On Nov. 28th, wear any team jersey,
even your own soccer, basketball, or baseball team uniform;
any team logo counts
Eastern Ontario Health Unit

Staying Healthy this Flu Season
Cold and flu season are upon us, which means its time to take
simple steps to help prevent and reduce spreading the flu and
other infections. The most effective way is for you and your
loved ones to get the annual flu shot. It improves your
familys chances of a fluless season and helps stop the
infection from spreading.
Influenza immunization is available through your healthcare
provider, at community health centres and participating
pharmacies. You can also get your flu shot at one of the
Eastern Ontario Health Units (EOHU) community clinics,
which will be held across Eastern Ontario until November
27th. For more information about the EOHUs flu
immunization clinics, visit our website at www.eohu.ca.
Washing your hands properly and instructing your children to
do the same will also help prevent the spread of infections.
Remind your kids to wash their hands before and after
handling food, before and after eating, after using the
washroom, as well as after blowing their nose, sneezing or
coughing.
Viruses and bacteria can also be spread through the air when
an infected person coughs or sneezes. This is why its
important to cough and sneeze into your sleeve (not your
hands) or cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. Throw
away used tissues in a garbage can immediately and wash
your hands well. And remember, keep your child home from
school when he or she is sick!
Triple P: On single parenting
Single parents often think its tougher to discipline a child
without the help of another person. In this case, just like if you
were parenting with someone else, planning and consistency
are key. Children thrive and get used to routines quite quickly.
Putting positive and predictable routines in place, for things
such as bedtime or homework, can make things much easier.
Including other family members in your routine can also be
useful. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, or trusted family
friends can set great examples for children throughout their
lives. There is no one right way to be a parent, but Triple P
offers information, support and practical answers for your
everyday parenting concerns. You can start your Triple P
experience today by registering for our upcoming events and
information sessions at www.MYtripleP.ca, or by calling 1844-362-8593.
