Ferris School

We're a thriving, positive community of learners working together to ensure that H.E.A.R.T. is always demonstrated each day at our school!

Being truly kind connects us all at Ferris. For Pink Shirt Day, staff and students gathered outside to form a kindness chain. Links from the chain are now displayed throughout the school as a reminder to show Ferris HEART.

Ferris shows HEART by collecting over 500 cereal boxes through the Cereal Box Challenge. All boxes were donated to the Richmond Food Bank.

Ferris students learned about and observed Pink Shirt Day in many ways this week: art, stories, button making, dancing at lunch time… It was wonderful to see our school wearing pink and showing Ferris HEART!

Ferris observed Remembrance Day by continuing many of its traditions, including hanging banners and creating a circle of peace. Virtual student performances provided us the opportunity to reflect on sacrifices made and to hope for peace.
