Hello Gibson Families,
We are hoping everyone is able to spend time with loved ones this Family Day weekend. Please note that there is no school on Monday, February 16th and students do not attend on Friday, February 20th as there is a Professional Day for Delta staff. This coming week is a busy one. Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating. We invite students to wear red to celebrate. Ramadan Mubarak for those celebrating. And Happy Lent for those celebrating. We are so lucky to be able to celebrate with so many here at Gibson.
