Did you know your student could earn a free ticket to Silverwood? The Silverwood Read 2 Ride program grants every K-6 student who completes the challenge one free ticket that is good this summer for Silverwood and Boulder Beach. Reading logs were sent home (you can use blank sheets of paper if you need more room). Every sheet MUST be signed by an adult, MUST have at least 600 minutes of reading, and MUST be turned in by April 1st. No late or incomplete logs will be accepted. Tickets will come home with report cards at the end of the year. Thanks for supporting your reader and this fun program!

Beginning the month of February, Fernan would like to honor monthly perfect attendance. Students with perfect attendance for the month of February will be entered into a raffle for a gift card.

Fernan would love to know what you do for a living. Are you in a STEM related career or any job in which we could involve you at Fernan? Our desire is to foster a community in which we have parents and community members involved at any level, from speaking to students, helping with project based learning, or sharing resources. We have standards at every grade level in every subject, with multiple opportunities for project based learning. If you would like to share your expertise or have an interest in getting invovled in some capacity, please fill out the survey below. Thank you!
