The 2022 Hawk Film Festival- Featuring The Long Take
What is a Long Take? - The long take, or one-take shot, is a technique where a director will film a scene with no cuts in the camera movement, so it seems like the camera is continuously rolling. Most directors will achieve this with secret cuts. Usually, these shots run for over 90 seconds without a cut, but it varies from film to film.
When does this happen? - April 21st to April 25th (Watch anytime during these dates!)
Where do I go? - It’s online! Look to the FRH webpage for the link! Have a viewing party! Bring the TV outside to the fire pit! Hook your phone up to a projector! Watch it alone in your room.
Whatever you decide to do make sure it’s fun and for you!
Why would I want to watch it? - We need to take the time to celebrate these great young filmmakers from this year’s Film Production class! Who knows, they could be the next one accepting an Oscar in the future!
Hot lunch - Pizza and Perogies

First Chapter Friday
April is Poetry month, and what better way to celebrate than with a book that’s a poem. On January 20, 2021, Amanda Gorman became the sixth and youngest poet to deliver a poetry reading at a presidential inauguration. Taking the stage after the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden, Gorman captivated the nation and brought hope to viewers around the globe. This text celebrates the promise of America and affirms the power of poetry. Stop by the library to check out your copy today.
Cyber Friday!

First Nations, Metis and Inuit learning
As our country moves toward reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, we thought we’d bring you a simple, easy way to move your own understanding forward if you’re curious about how you can be a part of the learning which leads to reconciliation. #Next150 was first introduced a couple of years ago, and we felt it was a good time to re-introduce it to the FR Haythorne community. Each link will take you to a short activity you can do to move your learning forward. This weeks’ activity takes a look at Indigenous films & film making. There are so many ideas out there, we just need to know where to look. Enjoy watching something new!
Bev Facey Football Spring Camp
We would like to extend an invitation to come to our Football Spring Camp starting this May. We are fortunate to have both a Senior and Junior Football team.
Facey Football is for EVERYONE, no previous football experience is necessary. In fact, usually, about 70% of the Junior Football Team is players new to football. Football is a great way to represent your school and meet new friends along the way. Football at Bev Facey is so much more than “just football” and you get to be a part of a culture that feels like a family. If you are unsure about football, spring camp is a great way to test out if football is for you. We understand that kids are busy in the spring, so we have made some changes to our process to best accommodate our student-athletes.
Skills Camp:
We will be running an 8-session skills camp (focused on footwork and technique) to start camp, the athletes will be in helmets and shoulder pads and the sessions will run from 5:00 pm-6:00 pm at Facey. This is an opportunity for everyone of varying skills to get coached in a smaller group setting, this also allows for the kids to build comradery early in the camp in a more relaxed setting.
Week 1- May 2nd, May 3rd, and May 4th
Week 2- May 9th, May 10th, and May 11th
Week 3- May 16th and May 17th
Spring Camp (Full Pads) [Tryouts]

Sunday May 29th Intersquad Blue vs White Game from 12:00pm-3:00pm
At the conclusion of the Blue/ White game, we will be planning to have a team BBQ.
Throughout the week coaches will identify our top 40-50 players for the ‘Senior Team’ portion of the Spring Camp.
