Foodie selfie! Last Thursday afternoon, The Gleaner's Food dined with a few students at Wendy's to capture the new meaning of dining out (capturing that special plated meal on social media), and in between bites we caught Lauri-Ann Chin taking a selfie with her salad. See more in Food on Thursday. - Gladstone Taylor/Photographer

From the old dame of North Street who will be celebrating her 180th anniversary this September, The Gleaner Company would like to express well wishes to the Convent of Mercy Academy Alpha on their 120th milestone by sharing a few social highlights from its anniversary special assembly on Thursday. We also have a foodie's snapshot from a recent dining experience at Wendy's. Kudos to Tajaun Gibbison for a fine job done. Stay informed with your daily dose of Something Extra.
