Halloween is just around the corner, and our schools are buzzing with excitement as students prepare to show off their creativity and enjoy some festive fun together. As we get ready to celebrate, it’s important that our events and costume choices reflect the values we share as a community: kindness, inclusion, and respect.

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.
