Christmas Neighbour

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!

Grade 5 Hoodies!

The grade 5 hoodies have arrived and they look fantastic! Students proudly wore their new hoodies for the rest of the day.

Thank you to the PAC for subsidizing the cost of the hoodies, ensuring each student was able to receive a grade 5 hoodie, running HotLunch for purchases, and to the parent who organized and facilitated.

Winter Art and Visit from Sinterklaas

Our hallways are lined with beautiful winter artwork created by our talented students and our foyer is sparkling with trees decorated by Division 1 students and lights hung by our PAC.

Yesterday morning Sinterklaas elves visited the school. Students left a shoe in the hallway and came back to find that the elves had left a candy cane in each shoe! This is a Dutch winter tradition where Sinterklaas arrives on December 5th to leave a gift on the doorstep. There were squeals of joy heard in the hallways!
