STEM Needs Your Holiday Leftovers!

In the spirit of gift-giving this holiday season, STEM needs the gift of your leftover cardboard tubes from your holiday gift wrap. We will put out an official notice in January letting you know when the collection boxes will be available for your paper tube donations. Please set them aside for now.

These materials are in support of our annual Fern STEM Night, which is being held on Tuesday, March 26th, 2019. All of the materials used to make STEM Night a success come from recycled and/or unused household materials. We will post a list of other needed materials in the New Year!

Thank-you kindly, and have a very Happy Holiday!

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
