This learning is a part of their life cycles Science curriculum and we are grateful that Ms. Braun and Ms. Swan have taken up this learning opportunity for students. The chicks will head back to Nanny McCluckins after their visit in Grade Three!

| Dear Andrew Sibbald Families, We hope that you have enjoyed some excellent time together over the long weekend! We will continue to follow the air quality guidelines for outdoor activities outlined here, as we are impacted by the wildfires in Alberta. Thank you to our whole school community for being flexible and responsive, and demonstrating empathy to those deeply impacted by the wildfires, including evacuees. 2023-2024 Kindergarten Orientation – Thursday Evening We look forward to welcoming parents and children to our 'Welcome to Kindergarten' evening on Thursday night at 6:00 p.m. inside our school gym. We will share information about kindergarten programming in the Calgary Board of Education and at Andrew Sibbald School and do a tour of the kindergarten classroom. Each family will also receive an envelope with valuable information included. Big Brave Event – Friday Morning Andrew Sibbald School Community – Wow! You are amazing. Well over half of our student population is participating in the 19th annual Big Brave Event and working to demonstrate their commitment to kids and families impacted by cancer. It has been inspiring to see the work that students, families, and community members are taking up to bring their brave this year! Thank you to Ms. Hatchette, Miss Craik, Mrs. Drever and Mr. Newman for leading the charge and organizing this event for our school community. And we wish to extend our sincerest thank you to you and your families for your support, as well as the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta. We are so excited for this event which will take place on Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. inside our gym. If you have not already, please check out the website here. Be ready to get inspired! Congrats to Sibbald Students for Participation in the Mount Royal Math Contest We are so proud of all our Grades 4-6 students who chose to participate in this year's Mount Royal Math Contest. Several of our students were honored last week for having made the top 25% of student scores from across the city. Way to represent, Sibbald students! A Message from ASPA - Bottle Drive Fundraiser on Wednesday, May 24th The bottle drive is this Wednesday! Parents are invited to bring donations to the school when they are dropping off and picking up their children. The staff parking lot will not be available for parking or drive-through use, during school hours. A table for collection will be at the main front doors before 8 am and again before 2:40pm. Then, from 3:30pm to 6pm, the Skip the Depot truck will be in the parking lot. At this time, anyone is welcome to drop their bottles off: parents, grandparents, friends, and the greater community. Let's make this a success and help the students in their goal of building the Gaga Ball Pit. Thanks for your support, Andrew Sibbald Parent Association
Reminder - Supervision begins at 7:50 a.m. Parents, just a gentle reminder that student supervision and entry into the school begins at 7:50. We've noticed students coming to the playground quite early in the morning unsupervised to play. Please know we cannot be responsible for student safety prior to 7:50 and if students come to play before school, they must be supervised by a parent or guardian. Thank you for your understanding.

| Monday Message – April 17th, 2023 Hope you have had a wonderful weekend & enjoyed some of the beautiful weather! Minecraft Challenge Celebration Last week we enjoyed seeing the learning that the Grade 4, 5 and 6 students have taken up in creating submissions for the CBE and City of Calgary's Minecraft Challenge. Thank you to the families in Gr. 4 who were able to come for the celebration of learning on Wednesday and thank you to Christopher Blais from the CBE and to Jason Cameron from the City of Calgary who visited our Gr. 5 and 6 students on Thursday. Students did an excellent job verbalizing intended learning outcomes & sharing their designs! Offsite & Onsite Learning Opportunities this week @ Sibbald Our Kindergarten students are off to the Parkland Fire Station, our Grades 1-3 students will be busy swimming, and our Grades 4-6 students will engage in a Netball residency here at school throughout the week. Thank you to our Parent Association for covering the cost of the Netball residency. We are all curious and excited to learn more about this sport. Thank You for Your Feedback Every year, CBE schools seek feedback from parents and guardians around school-based fees, unlike Central fees which include bussing, lunchroom and school supply fees, which are set by the System. We also appreciate gathering input around enhancements to school learning (residencies, field trips, working with experts) and how these rank as priorities. Please see the results of the survey posted on our website here. National Volunteer Appreciation Week! National Volunteer Week is April 16-22. Thousands of volunteers work in CBE schools every year and play an important role in supporting students and schools. This year at Andrew Sibbald we have processed well over 110 volunteers and this number continues to grow. Please direct all questions about volunteering to Mrs. Dupuis in the office. We look forward to hosting a Volunteer Appreciation on June 2nd to honour all of those who have volunteered at Andrew Sibbald School this year. Stay tuned for more information. Thank You! Save the Date: Sunday April 23rd 7:00 p.m. Virtual Parent Session Parents, this week, you will receive an email invitation to register for a virtual presentation hosted by Paul Davis around 'Social Networking Safety.' Please see here to learn more about Paul and his work. Thank you to our School Council for organizing this event for parents and guardians.

The staff and students have done an awesome job getting outside on our school field snowshoeing over the past few weeks and we are proud of even our youngest learners who have been successful in this activity. Celebrating International Mathematics (Pi) Day We enjoyed celebrating International Mathematics (Pi) Day here at Sibbald last week and appreciate all our Grades 4, 5 & 6 students who have signed up for the Calgary Elementary School Math Contest supported by Mount Royal University. The purpose of the contest is to encourage students to develop interest in mathematics and have fun. On April 26th, students who have chosen to sign up will complete 20 multiple choice questions. As noted by the organizers, this is not an exam but rather an opportunity for challenge and engagement. Thank you to Mr. Newman and our Grades 4, 5 and 6 teachers for supporting this at Andrew Sibbald School. Thank You for the Donations We have appreciated all the cardboard boxes that have come our way in preparation for the Trickster residency which has been rescheduled for the week of May 8th – 12th. We now have enough carboard. Thanks for your help with this! Have a Fantastic Spring Break Parents & guardians, we hope you and your children have an awesome Spring Break ahead.
