Hello FEO Families,
At the conclusion of our first "Spirit Week" there is much to celebrate. I want to first recognize the incredible season of both our soccer teams who represented the school with sportsmanship and integrity. The boys placed second overall with a heartbreaking lose in penalties. Our girls team are city champions!! They played an incredible match in the finals and were victorious. Congrats to both of our teams!
Our annual Haunted House was a screaming success that resulted in a large donation to the Mustard Seed! Thank you to Ms. Sangster and the drama team for such a great experience.
Please note that the CBE Fall Break is November 8-13, 2024. Regular classes for students resume on November 14, 2024.
Happy Diwali
I would like to wish a very Happy Diwali to all our families celebrating. May the light of Diwali inspire peace, harmony and kindness within you.
Disneyland Band Tour 2025
Plans are well underway for the FEO Disney tour. Rehearsals have already started and parent information was sent home earlier this week. If you are wanting your Grade 9 band student to join the trip, there are still several spots open. Please reach out to me for more details!
Sailing Trip 2025
Information regarding the sailing trip for 2025 will be communicated from Mr. Koch and will be coming home to families today via school messenger. The first student meeting will be at lunch on November 4th.
Maatoomsii’Pookaiks 2024
On November 8, 2024 FEO staff will be participating in CBE wide Indigenous Education. This day of professional learning began in October 2021 and is designed to develop and apply foundational knowledge of Indigenous Education in the CBE and at FEO. We are committed to acknowledging and responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action, which includes providing education on the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Indigenous rights, Indigenous law, and Indigenous-Crown relations (TRC Call to Action #57)
On Sept. 1, 2022, Piikani Elder Leonard Bastien gifted our day of learning with the Blackfoot name Maatoomsii'Pookaiks (MAAH-DOOM-SEE-BOO-GAAKS), which translates to putting children first. This name upholds and sustains the CBE mission: Students come first, and we are grateful to Elder Leonard for this beautiful gift.
Remembrance Day
The FEO Remembrance Day assemblies will be held on Thursday, November 7 this year. We are currently looking for anyone in our parent community that is or was involved in the Armed Forces, or who has a connection to them, to be a guest speaker for our assembly. If you are, or know anyone who is interested in helping us to make this event a success, please email Mr. Willoughby.
