Fern has gone GREEN!
Weekly packets will be available electronically, starting in March. If you've already opted to receive your weekly packet electronically, via the flyer that was sent home at the beginning of the school year, THANK YOU! You should receive your first packet on Tuesday, March 2. If you don't receive an e-mial from "Fern Falcons" on that day, please e-mail us at fernfalcons@gmail.com.
If you haven't signed up to receive your weekly packet via e-mail, please click here. It only takes one minute of your time, but saves countless volunteer hours (and trees).
We appreciate your patience as we work out the wrinkles of this new process!

Thank you to each of these people for all they have done to make Fern and the community around us a better place. Thank you also to those who took the time to write the nomination letters. If it weren’t for you, these people would not be getting honored. And, thank you to Carol Alvarado and Patricia Hoxie for helping to plan this wonderful awards dinner.

Census 2010
This year the Federal government will be conducting the census. The census is very important for our communities to get its fair share of federal dollars (specifically $400 billion) for vital programs like education, healthcare, emergency services, etc. The census also determines how many congressional seats California will get.
This year the U.S. Census has kept it very simple – “10 questions, 10 minutes”
Census questionnaires will be mailed home the first week in March and need to be returned by April 1.
The Census website is www.2010.census.gov.
