Hero Dance: Friday, February 7, 2025 | 7:00-8:30 PM (Doors Open at 6:45 PM)
Come and join other Fernbrook families at the Second Annual Hero Dance Event at the Fernbrook School Gym. Fernbrook Students will have the opportunity to bring "their hero" (one guest per Fernbrook Student, 18 years or older) and dance the night away. We encourage you to "dress to Impress!"
There will be a live DJ, Photo Booth and a craft table. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase.
This event is open to current Fernbrook students only. Additionally, only one Hero (adult 18 years or older) per child will be admitted. Space is limited so sign up soon!
We hope to see you all there!
Not Picked as the Hero for the Hero Dance but want to join?
The only way the Fernbrook PTO can put on these events is with the help from volunteers. We have an amazing committee for the Hero Dance but will need extra hands to help with the setup, clean up, concession stand and other various activities at the dance. If you sign up for a slot, you can welcome to stay for the evening. Heroes are also welcome to sign up. Please sign up for a volunteer slot, today!
Read. Imagine. Grow.
FRiES (Fernbrook Reading Is Essential Schoolwide) is a program that takes place every year to promote reading in a fun, team-oriented environment. Each week your child will track the minutes they read at home (not including homework) and fill out an online form so minutes for each classroom can be tabulated. Prizes are given to individuals who reach grade reading goals, the classroom for each grade with the highest total minutes read at the end of the 4 weeks and the entire school if they meet the Whole School Reading Challenge of 225,000 minutes.
The FRiES program begins Friday, January 31, 2025 and runs through Thursday, February 27, 2025.

The Fernbrook PTO and Fifth Grade Committee are proud to announce our next Fifth Grade event of the school year, "Fifth Grade Movie Night" on Friday, January 24, 2025 at 6:30 PM (Movie will begin promptly at 7:00 PM) at the Fernbrook School Cafeteria.
This is NOT a drop off event: A parent/guardian must stay with the child for the duration of the event.
For $12 per student (parent/guardian is free), there will be water and a snack provided to all students courtesy of the Fifth Grade Committee. A concession stand will have additional snacks for cash purchase. Make sure to remember to bring your blanket and/or a chair to the event.
The movie will be selected through a poll of the Fifth Grade Class. The title will be announced shortly.
Note: Only Fernbrook Fifth Grade Students can attend these events! The pre-registration deadline is Wednesday, January 22, 2025.
