Message from School Council -- Join us Thursday, 8:15-8:45 am for a Walk-In!

Dear Fern Ave PS Parents and Caregivers,

Join your school community this Thursday October 10 from 8:15-8:45 AM as part of a province wide Walk-In to show your support for an accessible, equitable, properly funded public education system in Ontario.

What's a Walk-In?

Instead of walking out to show support for public education, a Walk-In is a gathering of the school community to show support for public education. Fern Ave PS will be one of hundreds of schools across Ontario participating in this action. We participated in our first Walk-In last June, and hundreds of parents and kids participated.

When and Where?

The Fern Ave PS community will gather in front of the school (Fern Ave side) at 8:15 a.m., then walk to Roncesvalles and back along Wright Ave to the schoolyard to gather until 8:45 a.m.

Why?

Your involvement is more important than ever to support the education sector workers who are trying to get funding for schools reinstated and reverse changes to curriculum and delivery of your child’s education (such as increased class sizes and mandatory e-learning for secondary students).

Anything Else I Should Know?

Wear Red for Ed(ucation), bring along a sign or noisemaker (or both), and bring your friends, neighbours, and KIDS!

This event is a School Council event, not a school sponsored event, and as such, will not be on the announcements at school. If you want your child to know about it and participate, you need to tell them!

Hope to see you Thursday morning!
