Important Dates

Principal's Message

Dear Sibylla Kiddle Families,

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Remembrance Day assemblies today.  We are so pleased that we had a veteran, John MacCormack, attend our later assembly.  John was able to attend because a parent reached out and had a personal connection.  Thank you, Tiffany, for making this happen!

Just a reminder that we are now on Fall Break.  We will see you all on Monday, November 16!

Thank you to our School Council & Fundraising Society for buying dinner for the teachers on Thursday. 

Dates of Significance Display Case – Artifacts Needed!

We are trying something new with our glass display case in the forest in front of the Learning Commons.  We would like this space to house artifacts that relate to upcoming dates of significance to act as provocations for learning.  For this first iteration, we are looking for artifacts that relate to the following dates in late November and December:

• Metis Awareness Week (ex. Metis Sash, Metis beadwork, fiddle, etc.) 
• Guru Nanak Gurpurab (ex. Lamps, candles, copy of songs, etc.) 
• Hanukkah (ex. Menorah, dreidel, coins, etc.) 
• Bodhi Day (ex. coloured lights, conch shell, mala beads, etc.) 
• International Migrants Day (ex. pictures of travel, flags of home country, maps, airplane tickets, etc.) 
• Winter Solstice (ex. yule logs, yule candles, holly, mistletoe, etc.)
• Christmas  (ex. stockings, wreath, mini tree, candy canes, etc.) 
• Kwanzaa (ex. the seven candles, a unity cup, a Mkeka mat, etc.)

We've listed some artifacts above for ideas; however, you are free to send in other items if you wish. Also, if you know of a date of significance from late November-December that we've missed, please let us know.

We would love the artifacts as soon as possible - ideally by the end of next week (November 20).  Please note that the display case is locked; however, please do not send very valuable items. 

If you have something to lend our school, we ask that you drop if off at the main office with your child's name and teacher labelled on it.  If you can include a short description of what the item is and what date it corresponds with, that would be greatly appreciated as well. 

We will return all items and replace them with new items in early January. Thank you for helping us make these dates visible for our students.

Leadership Fundraiser:  Guess the Number of Items in the Jar

Leadership Club students have chosen Animals in Need as their charity focus for the year.  This year, we are supporting the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF).  

Our first fundraiser will be a "Guess the Number of Items in the Jar".  We will have two jars filled with random items.  From November 16-19, students can pay $1 per guess to guess the number of items in the jar.  The winner of each jar will receive a fidget prize pack.  More information will be shared on Instagram, including some images of the jars so families can help our youngest students with their guesses.  If there are ties, the fidget prize packs will be divided amongst the winners.  

Leadership Club students designed this fundraiser on their own and we are excited to see their plan come to life!
