Student Spotlight
Last weekend, Abbie G's hockey team, Sibley U10 Gold, took the Championship Trophy in the Flight C District 8 Championships! Abbie moved up from her normal defensive position in their Saturday game to score a goal, sending them to the district championships on Sunday. The Sunday game was intense, ending with a 10 minute "sudden death" overtime. Sibley scored with only 57 seconds left on the clock! Congratulations to Sibley U10 Gold and to Abbie G! |
