Grade 8 Community Clap Out June 25th

4pm FRIDAY, JUNE 25 - Celebrate the (almost) end of school with a front porch community Clap Out! 

Join your community schools in celebrating the end of the school year! 

We cannot all gather to recognize our kids' achievements this year, or have kids and teachers say one last hello and goodbye, but we can show our school communities that we care. Whether you have grads or kindergartens, whether your child is young enough for a crib or old enough for their own apartment, or even if you simply have missed seeing the kids walking to and from school -- help us make some neighbourhood noise. 

Please step on to your front walk, your balcony, or stand at your window at 4pm, Friday, June 25, and clap, bang a pot, play a musical instrument for a couple of minutes to honour our kids, staff, and admin.

Elementary school doesn't end until June 29, but high schools are winding up, and we thought this would be the best way to catch as many school-aged families, our friends and neighbours as possible. 

We have many kids graduating this year -- from our school and others -- who won't get the usual pomp and circumstance. So if you're a crafty type, consider hanging a sign on your window, your front porch, your shrubbery -- let the grads of the neighbourhood know you're thinking of them. 

Many thanks from Fern School Council and the parents of your neighbourhood schools.
