Dear FMIS students and parents, 

My name is Mrs. Cathy Kennedy and I am an Educational Assistant at FMIS. 

Originally I was born and raised in beautiful Newfoundland.  I am married and have two young, adult children who mean the world to me.

My family and I moved to Fort Mcmurray in 2005.  During my first five years in Northern Alberta I enjoyed my time as a stay-at-home mom.  At that time I also dedicated a considerable amount of time volunteering in my children’s school, assisting teachers with reading and math programs for students.  I also helped organize many other fun-filled school activities and events.  After volunteering in a school setting, I came to realize my passion was supporting children in their learning.  That’s when I decided to go back to college and begin the Educational Assistant program.  That decision is one of the best decisions I have ever made! 

I started with FMIS in 2010.  Here I am, 12 years later and still going strong! 

In my spare time, I love listening to music, spending time with my family and relaxing with our two dogs.
