Track & Field at Fern Avenue Public School
Yes, it’s that time of the year where the big buzz around Fern Ave. P.S. , and for athletics in particular, revolves around track and field. The weather might not necessarily agree, however, this year’s early track dates have us already preparing for making our school’s track team. Our goal is to also challenge each of our students trying for their personal best and enjoying participating in athletic events such as track and field. For these reasons we have planned track and field days at our school for our primary and junior students. Our primaries already had their track and field day on Thursday April 14th, a day filled with fun and excitement. Our junior students have their track day on Tuesday April 19th during the afternoon part of our school day with Thursday April 21st being the rain date (we still might have to re-schedule for the following week if weather conditions make it unfeasible). Finally our seniors will have track and field try-outs afterschool during the week of April 18th.
The TDSB track and field dates are scheduled as follows:
West conference: Tuesday May 17th@Centennial Park
West Finals: Monday June 6th @ Centennial Park
City Finals: Tuesday June 14th @ U of T Varsity Stadium
Each of our school’s participants on the track and field team will be given a permission form with further details and guidance sheets on preparation, expectations, and event schedules during our upcoming meetings.
As with previous years we have a large number of our staff participating in preparing and practising track and field events with our students, and parents are welcome to contribute and assist with the team. Parents interested in coaching will have to complete a short workshop with the TDSB board if not previously completed to work with our kids.
We at Fern Ave. P.S. strongly believe that participating in physical activity and athletic events such as track and field are integral to our student’s health and character building.
