Dear Fernwood Families,

I want to start by extending a huge thank you to everyone who has supported our Boosterthon fundraiser. Your generosity and enthusiasm are much appreciated. All of your donations go along way in supporting the education and experience of every student in our school. The students will celebrate the end of our fundraiser with Spring Fest on May 13.

It is also wonderful to see our fields and courts buzzing again as Spring Sports are in full swing. Whether it’s baseball, track, or softball, there is something special about the teamwork and school spirit that comes alive this time of year.

Let’s keep this positive momentum going as we head into a busy and bright spring season.

Sincerely,

Frank Locantora

Principal

Fernwood, Alder, and Miller trumpet and French horn students came together for an exciting High Brass Day, a collaborative workshop filled with energy and making music. The day was led by guest clinician Mr. Seals, Band Director at Attales Middle School in Absecon, with performance experience including the Philadelphia Orchestra and Baltimore Symphony.

Students participated in engaging rehearsals and breakout sessions led by Mr. Sutton (Miller) and Mr. Spatz (Fernwood), working with peers from across the district while building their skills.

Thank you to Mrs. Donchey (Alder) for helping organize this event. It was a great day for the arts!

Fernwood Wingmen continue their Wingman lessons during convocation to teach empathy, inclusion, and teamwork. Maggie Lamb and Paris Lagria did an amazing job with Mr. Goodwin's convocation with their Crossword Names activity!

Thank you Parents Club for providing donuts for our 8th graders to celebrate the first day of their last marking period as middle schoolers. Let the countdown to high school begin!

Our middle schoolers are the best! Our young visitors today got to play duck, duck, goose with our 7th graders.

Cares Club updated our Lobby bulletin board one last time as we “inch our way into summer”. Great job!
