Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week, SPB is heading into the final stretch of the volleyball season. Both our senior and junior boys’ teams are proudly holding 4th place! Meanwhile, our girls’ teams are giving it their all to secure spots in the top four, with their standings to be determined by next week’s games. A heartfelt thank you to all of our teachers who volunteer their time as coaches, scorekeepers, and supervisors to make extracurricular activities like these possible. Let’s cheer on our teams as they finish strong!
Students have also been enjoying in-line skating during their physical education classes. This activity began last week, and all classes will have the opportunity to participate in the coming weeks. Thank you to parent council funding and the PE team for making this exciting experience possible.

Request for Donations of Climbing Holds
We are excited to announce that we are planning to reset the walls in our climbing gym. To provide even more opportunities for our students, we aim to have two routes per wall. However, in order to achieve this, we are in need of additional climbing holds.
If you have any climbing holds (rocks) at home that you would be willing to donate to the school, we would greatly appreciate it. Your contribution will help us enhance the climbing experience for all students.
Thank you for your support, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Physical Education Team
