Mayor Ross Siemens is inviting Abbotsford elementary children in grades K-5 to take part in a contest to design the annual Christmas card.

Every year Mayor and Council send out many electronic Christmas cards across the city and province. Adding children’s artwork to the card adds an extra element of cheer. Elementary students from across the city are encouraged to create and submit a festive Christmas drawing that could be selected for the cover of the Mayor’s official 2024 Christmas card.

It’s back for another year Auguston!! Time to design our school’s very own Pink Shirt!

As a school we will celebrate Anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day on Wednesday, February 26th, 2025.

For now – we need to come up with a design for an appropriate Pink Shirt for our school. Everyone is welcome to enter – just make a design on a regular 8.5” x 11” piece of white paper. Make it bold and outline it in black – no colours please. This can be worked on at home and brought in to your teacher by November 27th.

Update on Avian Influenza (H5)

A presumptive case of avian influenza has been reported in the Fraser Health region. While this may be concerning, please rest assured that student and staff safety remains our top priority. There are no confirmed cases within our district schools. Fraser Health, BC’s Chief Veterinarian, and the Ministry of Health are monitoring the situation closely and confirm no known exposure in schools.
