Message From Fern's Eco Team

The Fern Eco Team has been preparing our school for the Green Bin program, with student-led class presentations and announcements. After the March Break, every classroom at Fern will be receiving small green bins for composting paper towels and tissues. The large green bins for food scraps will be placed in the cafeteria, daycare rooms and kindergarten classes.

We are excited about beginning the Green Bin program and know that we will greatly reduce the amount of food waste going into the garbage. Please speak to your children about sorting items such as paper, food, and garbage appropriately into the right bins. Encourage them to eat their lunches, and if there is any extra food, that it can be brought back home to eat later or be disposed of properly in the compost bin.

We greatly appreciate everyone's support and help in keeping our school healthy and clean!

Congrats Grade 8 Girls Volleyball!

Congratulations to Fern's grade 8 girls volleyball team for an amazing season this year! Our team players committed to three months of practices with an energy and skill progression that was contagious. By the time we played our first tournament, our team had become really skilled with an amazing set-up and return volleyball game. We had a string of 12 consecutive wins in exhibitions and TDSB tournaments and playoffs games. Our team played at a very high level of volleyball throughout and was well prepared for the south Toronto final against Deer Park. The game went to a third set that was closely contested with many lead changes. The ending was exciting but did not fall in our favour, with a 3 point loss margin. Deer Park, a very good team, went on to win the TDSB Toronto city championship. It is bittersweet knowing that Fern team came that close to winning the City championship, however we feel very proud for our season and bringing back to Fern Avenue the south city finalist

Congrats Junior House League Dodgeball Superheroes!

Image
If you happened to hear a lot of talk about superheroes in the past two months it was quickly brought to your attention that it had to do with the superhero teams battling it out in one of the many dodgeball games at the school’s gym. The dodgeball house league has been a huge annual sporting event at Fern Avenue public school with over 90 of our junior students playing this year. It was a great extracurricular for our students to exercise, practice their skills of throwing, catching, and dodging, and most importantly to have fun and socialize with friends and other students at school! Raising the gold cup with teammates in a commemorative picture was the prize in the final game between the superheroes teams. And yet, this was as big of a prize as it gets for our heroes in the final dodgeball game played between the Avengers and Titans teams. The game itself was one of the most memorable ones ever as the lead changed many times and a tiebreaker was needed to finally have the Avengers n
