Dear Fernwood Families,

I wanted to take this moment to wish you all a joyous summer full of; laughter and lake swims, deck chairs and good books, star gazing and sleep in's, whatever brings joy to your hearts and creates rich family memories.

It has been my profound pleasure to spend time with your precious children as well as many of you. Thank you. Fernwood is a special place full of special people. I am so grateful for the year spent here and will treasure it always.

I’m thrilled to share that our beloved Kelda (Logan) is healthy and well, and very excited to return to Fernwood as Principal next school year.  As for myself, I will be taking on new adventures focusing my time and energy in the district role of SD64 Principal of Indigenous Education. I’m hoping that it will allow me the opportunity to come visit this lovely spot that has been my home this year. Hali would love to come see the kids too!

Wednesday, June 26th, we had a ceremony for our Grade 5s. The gym was filled with loved ones who wished them well. Melissa Hingston, Alison Bain and Andrew McPhee, along with Ms Johnston and Ms Logan welcomed parents, remembered each student with fond memories and said goodbye to the families who are leaving Fernwood School. The ceremony was followed by a fun feast of strawberries and whipping cream and iced tea. We are sad to see them leave but wish them all the best for next year as they move on to Grade 6! 

Thank you so much to the PAC  for supporting this special event for our Grade 5s! Beautiful long stemmed gerberas and roses were ordered from FoxGlove and heaps of strawberries and cream from Country Grocer. Special mention goes out to Grade 4 parent volunteers Rhea Miller, Tobias Horbas and Kiran Dhingra for helping set up the tea, slice strawberries, whip cream, decorate the room and make beautiful flower arrangements. Thank you!
