Holiday Food Drive and Mitten Tree

Back to previous page

Fern Hill School will begin collecting non-perishable and canned food items staring December 5th, 2011 to donate to the local Food Bank.

We will also be collecting new and gently used mittens and hats to be sent to the Ottawa Snowsuit Fund.  A "Mitten Tree" will be placed on the 2nd floor of the school to hang your donated mittens and hats on.  The children love watching the tree fill up with their colorful donations.  Through exploration of the delightful story "The Mitten Tree", written by Candace Christiansen, the children will be inspired to add to our tree.

If you would like to contribute to either of these charities, please send in your items with your child.  Thank you for your generosity!
