Dear Andrew Sibbald families,
What a great turnout for our annual Terry Fox Run! Our community came together to support this important cause in a big way. Our grade 5 teachers and students did a fantastic job organizing and hosting this event; families showed up to cheer on our students or participate, and our whole community contributed in a big way through our fundraising initiatives. For the Terry Fox Foundation, we were able to raise over $3500! Thank you, Andrew Sibbald families!
I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!

Picture Retakes
Picture retakes are Wednesday, October 21. Any Tuesday/Thursday kinders who are interested in picture retakes are asked to come by the school between 8:30-9:30am this day since this is the only time that the photographers are scheduled to be at Sibbald for retakes.
All other students will be called down by grade for retakes. If the students are able to bring their original proof sheet, the photographers appreciate this.
Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found has been packed up and will be donated later this week. We have been encouraging students to look at the Lost and Found for their items. If a parent would like to stop by to look for a particular item, please check at the main office prior to Friday, October 16.
Cookie Dough Fundraiser - Message from Parent Association
Our cookie dough fundraiser is underway! Order forms and information sheets went home last week, and orders are due by October 30. Students seem excited about the prizes, and many are already working hard selling that delicious dough.
REMINDER: Your buyers should not be using the QR code on the order form to submit orders to us directly. Please collect payment from your buyers in the method of your choice (cash, eTransfer, etc) and only use the QR code to submit one order to us for all cookie dough your student sold. If you are aware of any orders that were submitted to us directly from a buyer, please reach out to us at fundraising@sibbaldparents.ca and we will ensure the orders are correctly linked to your student.
Halloween Dance - Message from Parent Association
Join us on October 29 for our Halloween Dance! Students and families are invited to wear their favorite costumes and enjoy music, dancing, and spooky fun. Tickets are free but due to school capacity limits, we are required to split the event into two time slots.
Sign up for one of the time slots here.
Families are invited to bring a non-perishable food item for the Veterans Food Bank.
The Parent Association is still looking for volunteers. Please sign up for a volunteer position at the following link: Halloween Dance Volunteers
All the best,
Mary-Elizabeth Kaiser
