A nearly four decade career will be celebrated Friday night as the community comes together to toast Garden Valley Collegiate Principal Dan Giesbrecht. Giesbrecht arrived to Garden Valley School Division in 1970, and has held a number of positions including Physical Education teacher, Athletic Director, and Vice Principal.

G.V.C. Vice Principal Tammy Macdonald says it's difficult to sum up the impact he's had on the Winkler school. She says to get an idea of what he's meant to students and staff, we simply have to read some of the comments posted on a bulletin board in the school.

Some of the comments include: no one is more faithful and committed as you, all your work and dedication will be missed, your encouragement and support have really strengthened the school, and thanks for always standing behind your teachers and up for what you believe in.

The party will take place at the G.V.C. gym beginning at 7 p.m., and we are encouraged wear either old G.V.C. memorabilia or black, red, and white as a sign of support for Giesbrecht.
