Parent Class Reps Needed

Hello everyone!

One of the ways the School Council communicates with parents is through our Parent Class Reps. Parent Class Reps collect a class e-mail list for playdates, birthday parties, last minute homework panics, end-of-year gift teacher gifts and for distributing important School Council updates.

We are currently missing Parent Reps for the following classes:

-- Mme Balaisis (grade 4)
-- Mme Munteanu (grade 7)
-- Ms. Castillo (grade 7)
-- Ms. Cameron (grade 7/8)
-- Mme Kertesz (grade 7)
-- Mr. Nikolajevic (grade 7/8)

Please let us know if you wish to volunteer.

It's a great way to stay "in the know" and to dip your toe into School Council without a whole lot of commitment. There are gaps at the Senior level as we assume our Senior kids don't really encourage mum and dad to hang around the playground at drop-off and pick-up. Let's face it, if your child walks themselves to school, you may not even set foot in the yard except for parent-teacher interviews.

So, if you feel like you are a bit disconnected with what's happening at school, this is the perfect way to connect. If you would like to be a Parent Class Rep, please email School Council at fernaveschoolcouncil@gmail.com.

We look forward to hearing from you.

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
