Hello FEO Eagle Families,

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the incredible cast and crew of “Yearbook Reflections.” This was truly a fantastic production—both heartwarming and full of humor—and a wonderful showcase of student talent and creativity. We are deeply appreciative of the extraordinary time, passion, and dedication demonstrated by Ms. Sangster, Ms. Sutherland, Mr. Cavalleri, and Ms. Langman in bringing this production to life. Their commitment created a memorable experience for our entire school community.

We are also proud to share that Ms. Therrien is leading the CBE Middle School Honour Band. This prestigious event will be attended by Chief Superintendent Jo Pitman, along with Dr. Mike Nelson, Superintendent of School Improvement. We are extremely proud of Ms. Therrien and the talented young musicians from across the CBE who are participating in this exciting opportunity.

As a reminder, F.E. Osborne School will be closed on Friday, May 15 for Teacher Professional Development. The school will also be closed on Monday, May 18 in observance of the Victoria Day holiday. Classes will resume on Tuesday, May 19.

We are still seeking parent volunteers to help support our upcoming FEO Track Meet (please see additional information below). Your support helps make these events successful and meaningful for our students.

Wishing all of our FEO families a safe and enjoyable long weekend. We hope to see you at the final performance of "Yearbook Reflections" tonight at FEO as well as the Honour Band performance!

Warm regards,
Dr. Michael Cutler
Principal | F.E. Osborne

GRADE 9 FAREWELL | June 9th @ Heritage Park

As the school year draws to a close, we are excited to announce this year’s second annual Grade 9 Farewell at Heritage Park! This event will provide a wonderful opportunity for students to reflect on their time in junior high, enjoy time with classmates, and create lasting memories as they prepare to transition to high school. 

*Please note that because we did not have more volunteers to organize fundraisers this year, we were unable to offset expenses more to keep the ticket price lower*

Please reach out to Dr. Michael Cutler if there is a financial barrier to your student attending the Grade 9 Farewell.

Thank you to everyone who shared their name and email to express interest in volunteering. We will send out an email in the next few days about the volunteers. We had more people express interest than needed. We will only need between 20-25 on the day of the event. 

Behavior Expectations

We ask that you please take a moment to talk to your child about the importance of behaving appropriately and respectfully during the event. This is a special evening for them to celebrate their accomplishments, and we expect them to represent themselves, their school, and their families with pride. Additionally, please remind your child to be respectful to parent volunteers and teachers who are generously giving up their evening to make this event possible.

If you are available to volunteer for this event, have any questions, need financial support, or require a special meal due to allergies, please email the Farewell Committee at feograde9farewell@gmail.com.
