13th Annual Shooting For a Cure 3 on 3 Basketball Tourney will be held on Saturday, April 5th at the Fessenden-Bowdon School.
FBS needed to call the fire department this morning for smoke and a hot smell on the stage. After investigation it was found that a fan unit went bad on a heater on the stage. All students and staff are safe and accounted for. Thank you to the Fessenden Fire Department and ambulance for their quick response.

Fessenden-Bowdon Public School is committed to providing high-quality instruction for all students. To support our teachers in learning new teaching practices and improving their skills, we currently utilize early release days once a month for professional development. We understand that any change to the school day can impact families, and we strive to find the option that best balances the needs of our students, teachers, and families.
For next school year, we are considering a change to late start days instead of early release. This would mean that school would begin 1 1/2 hours later than usual (10:30 am instead of 8:30 am) one day each month. This dedicated time for teacher professional development is crucial for improving the quality of education your children receive.
We appreciate your feedback on this potential change.
