This morning, students, families, staff, and our FMPSD Board of Trustees Chair, Mrs. Mywaart, gathered together at the playground for See You at the Pole—a global day of prayer where students around the world lift up their schools, friends, families, teachers, and communities before the Lord.
Our junior high students led the way, praying with boldness and standing firmly on the Word of God. The themes of Grace, Peace, Mercy, and Justice shone brightly in their prayers and posters. It was incredible to witness them speak with such Biblical authority, modeling what it means to live out their faith publicly.
A special thank you to our JH teacher, Mrs. Huygen, for walking alongside our students in preparing and leading this meaningful time of prayer.

As a school, we are grateful for moments like these that remind us we are Created on Purpose, for a Purpose—to shine the light of Christ in our community.
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.
