Soccer!

We had a beautiful day up at the Auguston fields playing soccer with our grade 5’s. Between our two teams we played six games; we were challenged, we made some great plays, we got lots of exercise and had a blast!

National Truth and Reconciliation

On Friday September 26th staff and students wore their orange shirts in a show support to truth and reconciliation and to honour Indigenous peoples.

The school met on the upper field and formed a circle with our Indigenous Support Worker leading the group.

Reconciliation is not a destination but a process. We encourage you to discuss with your child(ren) what they have learned at school.

Fête de la rentrée at Sandy Hill Elementary

For the second year in a row, Sandy Hill Elementary kicked off the school year with a lively Fête de la rentrée celebration. Inspired by SFU’s Back-to-School French Fete (French Fête de la rentrée)—an annual campus tradition hosted by the Office of Francophone and Francophile Affairs (OFFA)—Mme Rodriguez introduced the celebration to Sandy Hill, and it has quickly become a highlight for the school community.
