Dear Andrew Sibbald Families,

 

We hope this email update finds you well during this busy season!

 

Thank You for Your Support of The Calgary Mustard Seed

Thank you for your generosity and care around the “Warm Feet, Warm Hearts” donation drive for The Mustard Seed. The outpouring of support and number of items collected is inspiring. Tomorrow students will work in their buddy classes to finish sorting items and then package them up with hand written cards for the clients at The Mustard Seed. Teachers and students in Grade 3 and Kindergarten did a great job organizing this opportunity for citizenship.

 

We are almost ready to begin publishing our recipe books that will be for sale by donation (minimum $5.00) during next week’s Winter Concerts. We are proud of the Student Voice members (thank you families!) who shared a recipe with us. All proceeds will be donated to The Mustard Seed.

 

Upcoming Winter Concerts

Ms. Harris and all the students are hard at work writing their scripts, painting props and using their creativity and imaginations to design this year’s Winter Concerts. Unless your child has been ill or away from school, he or she should have received their tickets last week. Thanks for reaching out to the office at andrewsibbald@cbe.ab.ca if you have any inquiries around this or if you would like to request more tickets for family members. Thank you!
