...for this well known (especially to country music fans) speaker presentation!
*No tickets required
In this presentation, Chris shares his experiences of growing up with
undiagnosed ADHD, which posed challenges during his school years for both him and the teachers trying to educate him. He explains how he transformed his ADHD into a positive force, viewing it as a "superpower" that fueled his 35-year career in radio, aiming to improve the world. Chris recounts how teachers and schools have played a significant role throughout his life, highlighting the vital impact educators have on everyone. This will serve as a reminder to educators to avoid making assumptions about their students' futures and to focus on their strengths instead of weaknesses, ultimately making a meaningful difference in their lives.

🔥📵 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. ❤️🔥

"Sturgeon Public Schools is proud to be the first school division in Alberta to partner with Unplugged Canada, a parent-led movement encouraging families to delay giving children personal smartphones until at least age 14. Research shows that waiting can positively impact children’s mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. While technology is an important part of learning in our classrooms, personal smartphone and social media, use present different challenges. By sharing the Unplugged Canada Pledge, we hope to support open conversations at home and connect families with the resources they need to make the best choices for their children. Participation is completely voluntary—learn more and sign the pledge here."

TCIS
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.
