Dear Andrew Sibbald Families, 

Thank you to the many parents and extended family members who joined us last week for the Grade 4-6 Celebration of Learning focused on the Minecraft Challenge. Our students have put a significant amount of time and effort into their builds. We are very proud of the designs students have created and the insights they have gained in working through this challenge. We have submitted our school entries to the selection committee. We wish them all the best in the competition.   

This week is once again a busy week at Andrew Sibbald with many off-site and in-class experiences for our students. Thank you in advance to all the parent volunteers coming to support each of these experiences. It is appreciated. 

May is Asian Heritage month. It is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate culture, contributions and experiences of Asian heritage in Canada. Based on the 2021 census, it is estimated there are approximately seven million Canadians that identify with Asian origins.

May 2 is Teacher Appreciation Day. We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated and caring teaching staff. We look forward to celebrating them on Thursday. 

Sunday, May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit and Gender Diverse people. It is also known as Red Dress Day. This is a day to raise awareness and commemorate and honour the victims by wearing red. You can learn more about here:
