Dear Andrew Sibblad Families,  

Happy Mother’s Day to all our amazing Sibbald moms, grandmas, aunties, guardians, and other significant women! You are so appreciated. Here’s hoping your day was awesome! 

Thank you to the volunteers who helped with the ‘Growing Smiles’ fundraiser last week and to the families who participated in the fundraiser. We are grateful for your fundraising efforts in support of new equipment and supplies for the students.  

“Rock Your Locks” Kids Cancer Care Fundraiser – Supporting Student Well-Being and Active Citizenship  

Student well-being is one of the three measures on our School Development Plan. We know that when students can participate in active citizenship in school, their well-being improves. Active citizenship takes on many forms at Sibbald.  For the past two decades, students, staff and families at Sibbald have been supporting Kid’s Cancer Care. Every year, we come together as a community for these brave young people and their families, offering our unwavering support and commitment to making a difference in their lives. 

This year, we're excited to announce our participation in the newly named "Rock Your Locks" campaign. This is an incredible opportunity for us to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research and support programs such as Camp Kindle. By participating in events like "Shave Your Lid for a Kid,” “The Big Brave” and now “Rock Your Locks," we can help contribute to a brighter future for these young warriors.  

This year we will invite students that would like to join us in this meaningful cause to sign up to color, cut or shave their hair and raise funds to support kids fighting cancer. Expression of interest letters will go home with students interested in participating on Wednesday, May 15th. This letter will contain all the information regarding the requirements for participation in this incredible event.  Together, we can make a significant impact and bring hope to children and families affected by childhood cancer. Thank you!  

Volunteer Tea – Save the Date  

We are so grateful at Sibblad to have such an amazing body of volunteers who support the learning and wellbeing of our students. We will host a Volunteer Tea on June 11th from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. for volunteers who have helped us this year. More information to follow!
