🔥📵 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. ❤️🔥

Reading: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt
Notes: Initial meeting to discuss why we chose this book and collaborate around what we want to discuss, as well as what scheduling would work best for all of us
Virtual Meeting Link: https://meet.jit.si/moderated/cc9088afbff56ae77900a2f5d45d022874db983b57fcad7331c8e5ef1960b7a0
“Childhood changed in the early 2010s, and so did adolescent mental health. A once-in-a-century transformation occurred as childhood was rewired into something phone-based, screen-centered, and largely indoor, with far less free play and independence.” J. Haidt

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.
The Four Winds Public School, Early Bird Cafe, is up and running again for the third year at school. Our EBC's main focus is to nourish our students experiencing food insecurities by providing healthy breakfast, lunch & snack options everyday throughout the school year. If you would like more information about our program or wish to volunteer, you can email Mrs. Kim deChamplain at: kim.dechamplain@sturgeon.ab.ca
We appreciate any donations, whether it be monetary, food, or your volunteer time. Please contact Kim deChamplain for more information.
Thank you!

We would like to extend our continued gratitude to Breakfast Club of Canada, the Midstream Society and President's Choice Children's Charities for their ongoing financial donations that help us support a nourished environment for our students.
