Waste Free Lunches & Composting

lunch box that says "waste-free lunch"

Our school is a Waste Free Lunch School

We encourage waste free lunches
for everyone, every day.

To have a waste free lunch

  • use reusable plastic or metal containers
  • use reusable cloth baggies
  • use reusable metal, plastic or bamboo utensils
  • use cloth napkins
  • use metal or plastic bottles for water, milk or juice
  • eat naked food: bananas, apples, pears and peaches don't need wrapping

Check out more on our Waste Free Lunches website.

Composting

We have 16,000 red wriggler worms that compost 3500 banana peels and apple cores yearly,
from student snacks. Check it out on our Composting School website

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
