Sign up now for October lunches

If you haven’t already signed up, you can participate in Fern’s lunch program starting in October. Click here for the order form and check out October’s menu—featuring everything from chicken paprikash, Asian sticky chicken and spaghetti to chickpea & pasta soup, Sloppy Joes and fishcakes—on the website’s School Calendar or click here.

The deadline is Monday, September 16 for lunches beginning Thursday, October 1.

The Food Committee is looking for volunteers.


The success of Fern’s lunch program depends on parent volunteers. There are many opportunities for parents to get involved both in the lunchroom and on the committee, including:
  • helping serve lunch in the cafeteria where you get the chance to interact with the kids (and maybe sneak in a hug or wink to yours);
  • supporting parent engagement and outreach through communications activities and volunteer coordination; and
  • program development, administration and financial management of the overall program.

Your own children do not have to be in the lunch program for you to be a volunteer. This is a fun way to help the school, be a part of the Fern community, form great relationships with other parents, and stay connected to Fern in support of healthy food, a healthy school and a healthy community! Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Pamela Lapierre at pamlapierre@gmail.com.

If you have any questions about the lunch program, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions at  or contact Tracy Kett at tracykett@rogers.com or 416-535-0205.

Fern Running Club

Happy Monday Fern Falcons!  And Happy Earth Day.  We will have a running club, open to students of all ages, every Friday morning, from 8:30-9:00am, around the track.  Kindergarten students must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children in other grades are welcome to drop in and join us, and then will be dismissed when regular yard duty begins at 9:00am.  This is a club, and not a team, there will be no tryouts, there will be no meet/competition. We will be running for ourselves and promoting movement, the joy of running, and healthy habits.  Feel free to join us. Our first running club date will be Friday, May 3rd.  Cheers,  Mrs. Heller and Madame Miya
