Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone to a new school year. A little introduction about myself; My name is Mrs. Amanda Fahey. I am returning to Mike Mountain Horse this year after being off on a maternity leave. This will be my 12th year teaching where I have taught grades 2-6. My husband and I are originally from St. John's, Newfoundland but moved to northern Alberta (Fort Vermilion) 12 years ago to start my teaching career. My husband works here in Lethbridge as a firefighter/paramedic. We have three children; Grayson (3) , Julia and Isabelle who just turned one this past summer - yes, Twin girls! Life is busy that's for sure.

I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with all of you this year. I post frequently on this blog so please do check up regularly. Sunday nights I usually post the week at a glance so you have an idea of what to expect for the week. As well I like to post information about things that are happening in the classroom to keep you all informed about our wonderful learning and innovations.

If you ever have any questions, please feel free to call the school, or email me: amanda.fahey@lethsd.ab.ca, or you can log onto our Class Dojo and send me a message from there.

Looking forward to an incredible year!

Sincerely,

Amanda Fahey

Thank you!

As you all know, I am now on leave until my little ladies are welcomed into this incredible world. I just wanted to write a quick post to thank all of you for a wonderful year. I could not have asked for better students and parents to work with this year. I truly enjoyed every single day and looked forward to coming to work, just to see all of these incredible kiddos! Everyday was full of surprises! I've never taught a class that is so funny, empathetic, creative and willing to try any challenge like this particular class. 

I know that I will see great things from each and every one of you in the future! You are all amazing - never forget that!

Thank you all as well for my party on my last day. The gifts for the girls was overwhelming. Everything was so beautiful and thoughtful. Also thank you to Mr. T for organizing such a sweet party and providing a delicious cake!!! 

Thank you all for the best year ever! xoxox
