This winter, Deirdre set a big goal for herself—getting her own skates and learning how to ice skate! At first, stepping onto the ice felt scary, but each time she skates, she grows braver and stronger. When she falls, she doesn’t give up—she gets back up and keeps going!
Skating is tough, but Deirdre is learning patience, perseverance, and the power of believing in herself. Her journey reminds us that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). God has given each of us the strength to face challenges, grow through them, and discover just how capable we truly are.
Way to go, Deirdre! We love seeing our students embrace challenges, build resilience, and step out in faith.
ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th
As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.
In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.
As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
