Dear FEO Eagle Families,
We have had a memorable few weeks at FEO, and I wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the wonderful learning experiences our students have been part of.
Last week, our Grade 8 students had an outstanding time at Band Camp in Banff. The combination of focused rehearsal time, expert instruction, and the inspiring mountain setting made it a powerful learning opportunity. These moments are also a wonderful to reflect on the growth of these young musicians.
Our Grade 9 French Immersion students also had a special experience attending the Paul Cornoyer Concert at William Aberhart High School. This was a fantastic chance for students to engage with high-level musical performance in French!
These events remind us of the importance of music education—not just as an academic subject, but as a way for students to build confidence, express themselves creatively, and connect with others. We are grateful to our music teachers for their leadership and to families for supporting these enriching experiences.
Ms. Sangster and our Drama team is also hard at work preparing for their upcoming production of Yearbook Reflections. The cast and crew have been pouring their energy into rehearsals, and we look forward to celebrating their talents when the curtain rises.
Looking ahead, Grade 9 students will be attending the Calgary Zoo over the next two weeks as part of their science and interdisciplinary learning. We know they will enjoy this hands-on opportunity to explore biodiversity and animal adaptations.
A reminder that Spring Break is coming up soon, and there is no school for students on March 20.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our school and our students.
Warm regards,
Dr. Michael Cutler
Principal, F.E. Osborne School

CALGARY TRANSIT | Student Expectations & Safety
There are different Calgary Transit fares and passes options and purchasing locations. Students must carry proof of fare every time they use Calgary Transit.
Calgary Transit is committed to safety and has an extensive network of security features including cameras on buses and help phones at LRT stations and platforms for assistance. There are cameras at all CTrain stations that are monitored by security staff that are in direct contact with peace officers and can dispatch them quickly or call other emergency responders. Transit peace officers are also available to quickly respond to any incidents.
Calgary Transit provides riders with three options to report safety or security concerns. In addition to the phone number (403-262-1000) and the help buttons/phones at bus and train stations, riders can now send a text to 74100 for assistance from transit staff.
