Popcorn for sale on November 1st

Did you know that popcorn can pop up to three feet in the air?  Luckily, Fernwood adolescents will do the hard work of containing this flying popcorn and bagging it for you!  

Popcorn will be sold for $1 a bag after school on Friday, November 1st near the Falling Heath Doors.

Last Chance to Complete the District School Engagement Survey

Please consider taking a few moments to complete the following survey!  It is open until 10/31.

The District Parent/Guardian School Engagement Survey is your opportunity to provide the school with information on how you might like to get involved and barriers to involvement.  The school is provided with the data and it helps us to plan for our year.  The survey takes just a few minutes and is available in many languages.  Survey and flyer are linked below.

Our School is Cool!

There’s always something COOL going on at Fernwood!  This week (and every week) Fernwood students are engaged in creating COOL, BIG work!  Those carts of big rolls of paper on every floor are not just for show!  Why do Montessori students engage in creating big things?  Maria Montessori believed that big work was important for children because it fosters creativity and engages them in thinking about big ideas!  Humans also just like big things (dinosaurs, big trucks, etc)!  Please see the attached document for some big work (that took big time to create) that was done by students here at school and proudly displayed in our halls!
