Hi parents,   This is a request to search for any Fern P.S. library books that may have found a home on your bookshelves.  We are still in the process of trying to get all of our school books returned before next Friday.  Students have been notified of outstanding books but in some cases, we need your help ensuring that this happens! If your child has lost or damaged a book there is a $10 replacement fee.  Thanks for your help in getting all of our books returned to their proper home. Thank you.

We need your help! We need a few gardeners to tend to the lovely foliage during the summer months. If you have the desire to maintain the outside beauty of the school grounds, then we need YOU! The focus will be on removing weeds so the flowers, shrubs and bushes can thrive. Please refer to this link to pick a week. Thank you!
