Toy Drive: Another Chance to Give In December!


Hello Fern Ave. P.S. Families 

It's time for our 2nd Annual Toy Drive for the Parkdale Community Food Bank. We're doing it again this year, starting now until Friday, December 17 (last day of school). 

There are a few ways to donate: 

1. Drop off your new toy in the school foyer between now and Friday December 17. 
2. Buy directly from PCFB's community sponsor Scooter Girl -- either in person or online -- and ask that your purchase be donated to PCFB 
3. Drop off at the neighbourhood drop-off point Roncesvalles United M-F 10-3 or Sun 10-5 between now and December 21 

4. Donate directly to https://www.pcfb.ca/donate -- this will go to food as they do not have the capacity to go out shopping this time of year -- but it will be much appreciated. 

We are not collecting food at present -- that was the first week of December -- but will likely do another food drive mid-winter 2022 as we did last year. 

Please note that the Parkdale Community Food Bank has no religious affiliation, and will open the toy bank to all its families at the Parkdale Hall on December 22 and 23. 

Thanks for all your support to the school and our community in 2021!

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
