Urgent - Grade 8 Boat Building Parent Volunteers Needed ASAP

Hello friends!

The energetic and amazing Mr. Nikalojevic wants to revive the tradition of the Grade 8's building boats out of boxes and racing them across the pool. The folks who used to run this are no longer at Fern, and we need help to make it happen. 

This is an activity for the whole Grade 8 class, and a super fun way for them to close out the year. 

Here's what we need immediately to get this off the ground (or in the pool):

1. A Boat Building Captain (or two) -- we need a point person to coordinate with Mr. Nikolajevic. The person who organized it in the past can show you the ropes, but she can't take it on this year. 

2. Bicycle Box Collectors -- we will need 20+ bicycle boxes in a short time. Sweet Pete's has some available for pick up Thursday, June 2 at 6pm. Please let me know at fernaveschoolcouncil@gmail.com if you and your vehicle can help pick some up. They aren't easy to get, so we will need to hit a few more stores. If you can think of places with boxes, let us know. 

3. Storage -- our school is quite full and our previous storage has been taken by other things. If we could get one or two garages or basements, we can store some boxes there. We only have a small amount of storage. 

If we get people to step up for Items 1-3, we will need Item 4: 

4. Parent Help on the Day -- Still working on dates, but once nailed down we will tell you. We will need parent supervision for things like cutting, taping, and of course watching and cheering the kids in the pool. 

But if we don't get items 1-3, we don't get to this day. Please let us know if you can help at: fernaveschoolcouncil@gmail.com
