One of the things I love most about this time of year is seeing the many ways we celebrate the season.  Visit any one of our schools and you’ll see snowflakes and Christmas trees and happy faces all around. If you are lucky, you might even catch sight of Santa and his elves. And it’s not just in schools and classrooms. The Abbotsford School Board Office is a veritable winter wonderland thanks to the goodwill and creative energy of our folks here. 

We are celebrating Christmas & Winter break with Festive Fridays! Auguston students were invited to wear Red & Green instead of their school uniform on Dec. 6.

The Auguston Arrows Leadership Club had a "mix and mingle" meeting on Thursday. We had some yummy snacks and got to know our club members better.  We talked about our Cyrus Centre project and those who are in need and how we can spread Christmas joy.

Friday, November 22, was "Dress Like Me" Spirit Day! Because we are a uniform school, we wanted to celebrate a day of just dressing like ourselves!
 

For 14 years, Margaret Stenersen Elementary School has been privileged to partner with Living Hope Church to host a Community Breakfast every Thursday morning. This program has become a cherished tradition, offering families a chance to gather, enjoy a meal together, and build connections within our school community.

I spoke with an elementary student recently. He was a hockey fan and could easily recite NHL players' names. He knew their jersey numbers, the positions they played, and sometimes the number of goals and assists they scored. I suspect you might know a sports fan like this, too.

Students in Grade 4 and 5 were able to participate on the Soccer team for the Traditional School Tournament held at Abbotsford Traditional Middle School, on Wednesday, Nov 20. Way to go Auguston Arrows!

Thank you Mrs. Howe (Div. 1 Teacher) for the pics!
