Black Connections students from Yale Secondary came to read to our students! They were also teaching us and raising awareness about Black History. Thank you!
We are very excited about our One School, One Book project, where our entire school community will embark on a shared reading adventure! We have chosen the delightful book The Very, Very Far North by Canadian author Dan Bar-el. Inquiry bins were created for the teachers to bring into the classroom for the students to explore and discuss what the book may be about. This charming story will be read aloud in classrooms, fostering a love for reading and a sense of unity among our students.
In Mrs. Adi's class we have been exploring the significance of Black History Month and celebrating the diversity that makes each of us unique. We recognize that our differences are what make us special, and we are committed to fostering kindness, understanding, and respect for one another.
As part of our Carnaval week we held an Ice Sculpture Contest. Students were directed to use any medium they desired to create an a sculpture at home. Beginning Tuesday morning, students brought their creations to the foyer. While all entries received a small treat, yesterday judges chose 11 lucky students to receive a special prize. See below for some of the many fantastic creations. Thanks to all that participated!
The first skittle ball game was held at Prince Charles and since Coach Smith had to ref she put all the Sandy Hill suns in yellow because our jerseys are the same colour as the opponents. All team members played hard and had a fun time. Go Suns Go!
This winter, the Crochet Club at Sandy Hill Elementary demonstrated the power of kindness and community spirit through a meaningful outreach project. The club, which meets regularly to practice their crochet skills, decided to use their talents to spread joy by crocheting scarves for the residents of Maplewood Care Society in Abbotsford. This idea originated from the students' desire to show appreciation for the elderly members of their community.

Mental health is a key component of healthy child and youth development, and also has an impact on their relationships and their performance in school.
Thank you to our Sandy Hill families for your thoughtfulness and generosity towards the Christmas Neighbours program through Archway. Your generous donations allowed for our school to support two families of six and two families of 3 this upcoming holiday season! We were able to provide these families with their gifts as well as their holiday meals. We thank you all for helping our school spread kindness and empathy to those in need in our community. Happy holidays to all!
