Thank you: Fernbrook's First Annual Boo Bash
Thank you to all of our Fernbrook Friends and Families that came out to celebrate Halloween at our First Annual Boo Bash celebration. Fun was had by all during our two hour event which included many fall games, activities, snacks, dancing, laughing and so much more. It was great to witness so many members of our community coming together and having a memorable experience.
An extra big thank you to all the volunteers that made it happen! This is our first time having this event and we had no idea what the response would be, but it was huge. Our team worked round the clock leading up to make it an amazing event: Melissa Zimmerman, Melissa Issa, Loren Darzano, Dana Pineiro, Brittany Bassett, Nina Lifshey, Jay Zimmerman - you all are the very best! Also thank you to some of our parents who volunteered during the event to help the committee make the magic happen: Marie Chahed, Jaimie Pasterick, Gina Intilli, Swati Jain, Nicole Ashby, Daniela Comprelli, Javier Mendoza, Wanna Li, Jamie Rajkumar and Sayen Galindo.
As always, this event could not be possible without the invaluable support from Mr. Patel, Mr. Martinez, Mr. Fabzio & Mr. Cordero. We are so lucky to have you all!
Thank You: Fall Scholastic Book Fair
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Fall Scholastic Book Fair! It was our most successful fair ever and it could not have been done without all of our amazing volunteers, unending support from our Fernbrook administration, collaboration with our Fernbrook teachers/staff and, of course, without the support and participation of our parents and students. It was a wonderful community event and it brought so much joy to our volunteers to meet so many parents and students from our Fernbrook family.
Thank you to Mrs. Dressel (formerly Ms. Thorn) for coming out Friday night and surprising us by being our mystery reader! It was great to see you and the community catch up!
A special thank you to: Dr. Bernal, Mrs. Amin, Mr. Patel, Ms. Moran, Mrs. Branch, our amazing custodial staff for all of your assistance in making this possible.

A big thank you to Brittany Bassett and Soniya Patel for their help in coordinating this effort- without you as our amazing committee members, this would not have been possible!
Thank You: Halloween Class Celebrations
Thank you to all our Room Parents for helping provide wonderful celebrations in the classrooms for Halloween! The students enjoyed walking in the school parade followed by parties in their classrooms including games, snacks and crafts. Everyone had a blast!
A big thank you to administration, teachers and staff for working throughout the day to make it all possible. We hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!
