On the sixth day of Christmas*, Fern parents gave to me, new library books...


A new play structure, one great STEM Night,  one outdoor classroom, two foursquare courts, and a park bench and a shade tree.

(*or whatever holiday your family celebrates this time of year!)

Your School Council is paying $2600 toward the Forest of Reading Program this school year!  This funding will provide full classroom sets of grade appropriate novels in English and French by Canadian authors, and provide novels for the Junior and Senior book clubs.  In May, Fern kids who participate in the Forest of Reading program head down to a great book festival at Harbourfront to meet their author heroes!

Please help ensure we maintain funding for the library and other Fern Programs by donating today to Fern on TDSB School Cash Online at https://tdsb.schoolcashonline.com/Home/SignIn or go to Donatetofern.com!


Thank you!  School Council Executive

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
