We are thrilled to announce that four Abbotsford School District "Heroes in Education" have been featured in a special publication in the Abbotsford News for their exceptional work and dedication to education.

Congratulations to the following:

Nicole Longpre - Teacher at Centennial Park Elementary
She got into assistance work about seven years ago, and now instead of a full classroom, she has a day full of various duties. She helps students with designations like autism, and supports the kids who just need a boost with reading and writing.

Our first book fair in 3 years was hugely successful! Sales were over $7000 which resulted in the school receiving $4300 in Scholastic credits which can be use to buy books.  So exciting!  

Congratulations to Gurleen! She won $25 to spend at the bookfair and $25 for her teacher Mrs. Adi.

Thank you very much to all the parent volunteers. Without your support these events could not happen. 

Our entire school was treated to a hilarious performance of Peter Pan this morning. It was so nice to have a school wide performance again. Thank you to all the student and staff participants!

The Abbotsford Board of Education is currently seeking feedback from parents/guardians, families, employees, students and the larger community on the proposed calendar for the 2023-24 school year.

The Abbotsford Board of Education regularly meets throughout the school year. Agendas and minutes from the public Board Meetings can be accessed through the District's Electronic School Board. Below is a summary of highlights from the meeting. 

In the past week our Grade 5 Indigenous students went on drum making field trips!

Students in Grade 2 through 5 put together teams, choreographed and practiced dance routines to present to their peers during recess over the last couple of days. There were lots of laughs, ooing, ahhing, and cheering in the gym! Sandy Hill is lucky to have such a talented group of students!

The Sandy Hill Grade 5s split into two teams and went head-to-head last week! Both teams performed well in front of the Grade 2s and 3s demonstrating how they conquer their learning targets, and to inspire the younger students to play when they reach Grade 5. 

Game ended with a nail-biting tie of 6-6! Way to go Suns!

Sandy Hill Elementary was transformed into a Winter Wonderland on Friday with games, a photo booth, facepainting, concession with popcorn & candy, family pizza, raffle baskets and so much more!

A HUGE thank you the Carnival Committee for organizing such a wonderful community event! Almost $5500 was raised!

This past December, the Indigenous Education Advisory Committee reviewed applications submitted by several grade 12 Indigenous students from secondary schools throughout the Abbotsford School District.
