PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
We are excited to have our students return to school from Winter Break. As we move into 2024, we are ready to level up as individuals, as a school, and as a district!
To kick the new year off we recently learned that Fernwood was selected as a grantee for the AtlantiCare Healthy Schools, Healthy Children 2023-24 Grant Funding Opportunity. This Physical Activity Innovation grant will further enable us to provide students with resources in the areas of health and PE to increase their overall wellness.
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Stockton's Annual Tween Tech Event
20 female students were selected by their teachers to represent Fernwood and Alder at Stockton's Annual Tween Tech Event! These students experienced hands on STEAM activities run by college professors with other middle school females from across the county. They coded a sphero robot, built a wind-powered turbine and tested their designs in a "wind tunnel", used their engineering skills to safely drop an egg, applied chemistry to make various things in their science "kitchen", built a device to display laser figures, and investigated the ocean density layers and melting ice using tank models. Students also were able to make new friends and enjoy a lunch catered by Stockton. It was a wonderful day!
