On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, flags at all Abbotsford schools and district sites are lowered at half-mast.

On this day, over 30 years ago, an act of violence shook our country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. As we mourn the ones we lost and remember their lives, we reaffirm our commitment to creating workplaces and schools free from gender-based violence.

Our hallways are decked out with fabulous winter art! 

A fun time was had sledding at recess on this beautiful sunny day!

Thank you to these lovely ladies who brightened up the school foyer and office.

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. 

Grade 5’s in Divisions 1 and 2 thoroughly enjoyed their skating experience at ARC on Thursday November 17th.  Students had fun playing hockey, chasing their friends, and scooting around on seals!  Even Mrs. Fetterly and Mrs. McClelland got into the fun! 

Thank you to all the volunteers who accompanied us and helped lace up skates and encourage kids – you were amazing!   

After two hours of skating, the kids even got to enjoy a well-deserved treat back at the school. What a great day!

Mrs. Adi's and Mrs. Harrison's classes have been learning about seasonal changes and how animals prepare for winter. Each student had the opportunity to select a local animal and share with the class how it prepares for winter. We were focusing on the core competency goal of communication, specifically, "I can listen to others", and "I can share my ideas and thoughts".

It was a full house at the official inauguration of the newly elected Abbotsford Board of Education on Tuesday night, as seven trustees were sworn in and affirmed for the new term. Three new trustees - Rupi Kanda-Rajwan, Mike Rauch and Jared White - join incumbents Korky Neufeld, Stan Petersen, Preet Rai and Shirley Wilson. The Abbotsford Board of Education will serve from 2022 to 2026.

Our Grade 5 students were very excited to receive their new Sandy Hill Grade 5 Hoodie!  These warm and comfortable hoodies are decorated with a cool design and all the Grade 5 students' names on the back.  They look fantastic!  A huge thank you to all the hard-working volunteers who organized this very special Grade 5 memorabilia and to the PAC who contributed to the purchase.  We appreciate you and thank you very much!

Well we got soaked again! But I think all students had a soccer adventure:) For the last game we had some “free agents” go play on the other team just to even out the playing field. We didn’t know that our own players were going to “go off” and score four goals against us! I’m proud of the Sandy Hill sportsmanship! Our players did well.
