The Annual Dance-A-Thon is back!

FERN P.S SCHOOL COUNCIL PRESENTS: DANCE-A-THON - MARCH 6, 2025


The Annual Dance-A-Thon is back! On Thursday, March 6th, every student in grades JK-6* will dance for a period during the day. This is one of Fern School Council’s biggest fundraising events of the year, and every dollar counts. All funds raised go toward our continued delivery of in-school enrichment across the arts, STEM, eco, equity, athletics & more. 


πŸ•The top 3 classes that raise the most money WIN a pizza party! πŸ•


HOW TO DONATE/RAISE MONEY

The pizza party is a hot ticket item! Students are encouraged to get creative with their fundraising efforts. Team up for a hot chocolate stand, make a plea to your family/sports team/parent’s book club group chats…


We have TWO easy ways to donate: 


1. Complete the pledge form and send cash with your child on March 6. A parent volunteer will collect it and make sure your child’s class gets credit.


2. Donate on School Cash Online

*What about my Grade 7 or 8? 

Senior students have indicated that they would prefer to be on the organizational end of this project. The Senior teachers have the sign-up for grade 7 & 8’s who want to volunteer to help out at the Dance-A-Thon.


But we’re leaving early for March Break!

Not to worry - your child can still participate in the fundraising even if they are not attending! If your child will not be attending on March 6, and has cash donations, please reach out to fernaveschoolcouncil@gmail.com and we will organize a drop-off/pick-up for cash donations.
