A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Halloween Movie Night! We had a very big and unexpected crowd, and we were so happy to see all the excited faces and families come together to enjoy the evening.

An even bigger thank you goes to everyone who donated food. We ate so well! The P.I.E. Committee provided hamburgers and hot dogs, popcorn and a sweet treat. While our amazing community brought the rest. We had so many salads, desserts, chips, drinks, and much more. Your generosity truly helped make the night special.

Through events like these, P.I.E. hopes to promote community, togetherness, and a strong sense of belonging. We want our school to be a happy place where everyone feels welcome, connected, and able to come together.

Thank you for continuing to support P.I.E. and FMES. We look forward to seeing you at our next event! Askwali/ Kwah-kwaii ❤️🖤

Pasta & Posters — Let’s Celebrate Our Runners! October 3rd 5-7 pm at the Polacca Community Building.

We’re inviting all of our Mighty Indians cross country runners and their families to join us for a Pasta & Posters event as we celebrate the end of a great season and get ready for the H.E.A.L. Tournament!

Our coaches and Athletic Director will be providing the main pasta dinner dish, and the P.I.E. Committee is generously donating the drinks. We are kindly asking families to contribute sides and desserts to help make this celebration special.

After dinner, we’ll have fun making motivating posters and signs to cheer on and encourage our runners as they compete in the H.E.A.L. Tournament.

Let’s come together, enjoy a meal, celebrate our runners, and show them just how much their Mighty Indian community supports them!
We hope to see you there!
