Curriculum Night & Welcome Back BBQ - September 14th

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope that the first week of school has been a successful one for your child(ren) and they are getting more comfortable with their fellow students and teachers of the school each passing day. Please mark next Thursday, September 14 on your calendars to attend our Curriculum Night and School Advisory Council Welcome Back BBQ. 

Curriculum Night will be the first event and it starts at 5:30 pm in your child’s classroom. The first rotation of presentations or drop-ins will run until 5:50 pm followed by a 5-minute movement break and a second presentation/drop-in from 5:55 to 6:15 pm. Afterwards from 6:15 to 7:15 pm please join us outside the school where, for a nominal charge, we will be offering a simple meal of hot dogs or veggie dogs with a drink and a fruit. 

We are hoping that those of you with a sweet tooth can contribute something to our potluck dessert table for all to enjoy. There will be a table ready for your treats to be donated starting at 4:30 pm.

As we are a Gold Eco School, we are asking for your cooperation for the BBQ portion of this event. In order to minimize waste for this large gathering of people, we are asking if families can bring a plate, cup and napkin for each participant. We will have three receptacles outside for this event – garbage, green bins and recycling – so that the right waste goes to the right place. Thank you in advance for this small extra effort.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday afternoon and please stay after Curriculum Night to get to know your Fern community better. Let’s hope for some end-of-summer great weather for this event.
