Monday Message: March 10th, 2025
We hope all our Andrew Sibbald moms, grandmas, aunties, and other special women had an opportunity to celebrate International Women’s Day this weekend. Thank you for all that you do. We appreciate you at Sibbald! Parents, thank you, also, for the pop-up popcorn treat for teachers on Friday. As always, these are so appreciated.
Thanks to all the parents who volunteered last week for basketball with Coach Dave, heading down to Fish Creek Park or the Confluence, and organizing fun lunch for students. You can see much of this learning on our teacher’s classroom blogs. This week, we look forward to welcoming more of you to help with the glass residency, Grade 1 Science workshops and the Grade 5 field trip.

Gathering Your Input

The purpose of the survey is to gather input around our school’s School Development Plan (SDP) and School Fees. Thank you in advance for completing the survey.
