Dear Andrew Sibbald Families,  


In gratitude  

For those parents and family members who came to see the celebrations of learning around our puppet residency, thank you! We hope you enjoyed your time with your child’s classroom community and teacher. We are proud of how our teachers supported student’s risk-taking, creativity, and willingness to find voice in a new way.  And we are so proud of students for stepping into this learning.

I wish to extend a huge thank you to the 40+ Student Voice Gr. 5 and 6 students and families who contributed baked goods to the bake sale for Pink Shirt Day. The students had a lot of fun selling the goodies to the school community. Second, I want to celebrate the fact that $1, 102.00 was raised in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Thank you for your generosity and support, Sibbald Families. 


Minecraft kicks off this week for Grades 4-6 students  

The Calgary Board of Education’s Third Minecraft challenge kicks off this week here at Sibbald. All students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 will participate in the challenge this year. Through this learning, students will get to design using the Minecraft Education Suite and work collaboratively with peers to problem solve and create. We look forward to the challenges and celebrations students will encounter through this work and are grateful to our teachers for supporting this awesome learning! Please see here to learn more about the challenge. Please see the Parent Guide as well.
