Welcome Back from the Parents of School Council!

Welcome back Fern Families! Great to have you back in the yard and to see the smiling faces of kids running around before and after school. 

There's a lot going on at Fern and we are excited to get back to some of our usual events. Two things to put on your calendar:

1. First School Council Meeting - Thursday September 29, by Zoom, 6:30-8:30. No secret handshake or membership required. Any parent or caregiver of a Fern kid is welcome. Ferncliff parents are welcome too. More details closer to the date. 

2. Welcome Back BBQ at Curriculum Night - Thursday, October 6. Since we have a captive audience for Curriculum Night, we will take the opportunity to hold a hot dog BBQ to welcome everyone back. Details to come. Mike Snitman will run the BBQ, but if anyone wants to help with sourcing donations of food, please reach out at: fernaveschoolcouncil@gmail.com. Closer to the date, we will put out a call for volunteers. 

Bake Sale Captain? 

In past years we've run a bake sale at the Welcome Back BBQ to provide desserts, but our Bake Sale captain of many years has left as her last child has gone to high school - the circle of volunteer life. So, if you've got a hankering to captain that ship, please reach out. We can provide you with some suggested steps to make it happen and help you with getting the word out, lining up volunteers and to bake etc., but we need someone who will own it.
