Fifth Grade Movie Night Event
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.

Recap: Thank You: Outreach Committee
The Fernbrook Winter Drive Outreach Initiative was a tremendous success! The Outreach Committee would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of the families that contributed to the drive. We were able to provide gift cards, warm winter jackets, hats, and gloves to ten of our very own Fernbrook families in need.
We could not have done this without the help of our wonderful school nurse, Mrs. Jennifer Cutri and the support of Dr. Bernal and Mrs. Amin.
In addition, the PTO Executive Board would also like to send a special THANK YOU to the members of the Outreach Committee: Jodi McLean and Kelly Meola. We appreciate all of the time you put into the planning and execution for this effort.
