New Climbing Wall at Sibley

Prior to our break, our PTO approved the purchase of a 40ft long horizontal climbing wall for all of Sibley students.  Over break, this awesome apparatus was installed.  Today, our first day back for 2015, Mr. Wilson unveiled the surprise! I think it is important to realize that the funds for this wall would not have been possible without the stroll-for-a-goal walk that we have in the fall of the year.  This year, we raised over 20,000 dollars, shattering the previous year's mark.  Yes, we are still in the planning stages of some work to be done on our playground, but when Mr. Wilson, our phy-ed teacher approached our PTO with the idea, it was an easy decision since it would be put immediately to use with the winter months ahead.  Like a playground, the wall itself promotes physical activity and play.  Does this mean that work will not continue on the playground? Not at all.  With district funds and funds that still exist from our past stroll donations, there will be changes to come outside, just as was done inside.  So, thank you PTO, thank you parents and relatives, and thank you community for supporting our students in their annual walk-a-thon fundraiser.  Without it, improvements and a new rock wall would not be possible.  We are thrilled!!!
