This week, our Grade 2 students dove into an exciting Let Grow Project! Their mission? To design and build their very own games using a variety of materials like cardboard, recycled items, craft supplies, and their BIG imaginations.
Through this hands-on activity, students had the chance to: Get creative as they turned everyday materials into something fun and unique. Take responsibility for their own learning by planning, building, and improving their designs. Take risks by trying out new ideas, learning from mistakes, and persevering when things didn’t go as planned.
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.
