Nov. 6 - 10, 2023

Hello, Grade 1 Families, 

Learning Intention: I can appreciate multiple points of view, languages, cultures and experiences within their groups and communities. 

Students learned about the poppy and its significance in Remembrance Day. To honour our veterans, we have been collecting Sweet Treats to make care packages for them. We will write a message to a veteran and package up the goodies. Thank you for all of the donations!

Here is the information for our next project at Andrew Sibbald: 

From November 15^th to 30^th, we are looking for help in collecting: 

·       New pairs of warm socks 

·       Gloves, mitts, and hats 

·       packaged bars of soap 

·       lip balm 

·       toothbrushes 

·       toothpaste 

·       floss 

·       travel sized shampoo 

·       travel sized conditioner 

·       travel sized body wash 

·       travel sized lotion / hand cream 

·       coffee / food vouchers 

·       gift cards 

·       chocolate/candies 

In early December, students will be invited to fill the socks with the collected toiletries. These socks will then be brought to the Calgary Drop-In Centre where they will be handed out to clients. We believe this is a wonderful way to give back during the holiday season and allow our Andrew Sibbald students the opportunity to highlight their empathy, kindness, and wellness outside of our building. 

Thank you for your generosity and support!
