This morning, we kicked off the 2024-2025 school year with our All-District 241 Welcome Back event at the ALHS Auditorium! It was a fantastic gathering with all staff in attendance, coming together to celebrate the start of a new academic year. We're excited for the year ahead and looking forward to all the great things we'll achieve together!
I want to express my gratitude to Lee and Sherri, Sibley's custodial staff, for all the hard work they've done this summer getting our school ready for a new year. The school looks beautiful and it's clear that they have gone above and beyond to make Sibley shine.
With sincere appreciation,
Kristi
