We are pleased to be able to offer MedicAlert memberships to students (from age 4 to their 14th birthday) through the No Child Without® program at GFS.

Plants To Be Aware Of Contact with plants such as Giant Hogweed, Angelica, Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Wild Parsnip should be avoided as the sap from these plants can cause skin irritations and blisters when exposed to sunlight. Although these plants have invaded parts of New Brunswick, none of the above named plants, to our knowledge, are located on or near GFS.
