🏆 CAN THE FIREBIRDS BECOME THE G.O.A.T.? 🏆
FWPS is teaming up with Aspen House to help stock our local Food Bank shelves this June! ❤️🥫
But there’s a twist... 👀
All of the schools in our community are competing to see who can collect the most donations, and the winning school earns some VERY special visitors...
🐐🐐🐐 ASPEN HOUSE'S RESIDENT GOATS! 🐐🐐🐐
That's right, Firebirds! The more donations we bring in, the better our chances of being crowned the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) and earning a visit from these adorable four-legged celebrities! 🎉
🥫 Bring in non-perishable food donations throughout the month of June.
❤️ Help support families in our community.
🐐 Help us GET THE GOATS!
Let's show everyone what Firebird community spirit is all about and prove that when Firebirds work together, we can accomplish amazing things! 🔥🐦🔥
🕵️ Psst...
Donation Pro-tip: if your donation makes your backpack noticeably heavier...
you might be onto something. 👀🐐

🔥📵 Introducing… Tech-Free Tuesdays at Four Winds! 📵🔥
Every Tuesday, our Firebirds will be powering down the screens at recess — no devices, no computers… just connection, movement, laughter, and fun!
Instead of tech time, students can:
🃏 Play cards or board games
🏀 Join in on gym activities
🔥 Hang out at the firepit area
🌲 Enjoy fresh air and outdoor fun
Why are we doing this?
Because healthy habits, real-life friendships, and mental wellness matter. Tech-Free Tuesdays help reduce stress and social pressure — and boost community, play, and joy.
And honestly… we cannot WAIT to see the memories, teamwork, and fun that come from this! 🎉
Let’s unplug to recharge, Firebirds.
Tuesdays just got awesome. ❤️🔥

TCIS
At Four Winds Public School, we are committed to fostering safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for all students. One of the key tools we use to achieve this is the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS) system. TCIS is a trauma-informed, division-wide framework designed to help staff prevent crises, de-escalate potential conflicts, and support students in developing healthy emotional regulation and coping skills. This system not only enhances safety and well-being but also promotes stronger relationships between students, staff, and families.
