Dear Fort River families,
I hope you are all enjoying your summer!
Please join Principal Sharick and others from the community on Friday, August 20 & Saturday, August 21 to spruce up Fort River for the start of the school year! These are the housekeeping projects which need some attention:
1. Painting part of the cafeteria.
One of Principal Sharick's continuing priorities is to upgrade the cafeteria. The international flags were taken down and cleaned, more new long tables have arrived, and an exciting composting program will be introduced at the start of the year. But before those clean flags are rehung, there is some painting to be done!! The plan is to paint all the outdated wood paneling on the far side of the caf. Many hands will make this easy and should make a big, bright difference. Please join us!
2. Spreading wood chips.
We also need volunteers to spread wood chips on the playground. The chips will be there and folks who want to take a break from painting can step out for fresh air and wood chip spreading! (You can also come for the spreading only!)
3. Gardening.
And once again we need a few volunteers to thin out and cut back the plantings around the Fort River sign at the entrance to the school.
Please come ANY TIME you can spare for ANY of the projects on 8/20 and/or 8/21 from 8:00am-5:00pm. Mr. Sharick will provide the donuts and coffee!! Also, if you want to help with the spreading of wood chips or gardening but cannot make those dates, let me know. We may organize an alternative time for those projects.
Please email and let me know if you can come so we can make sure we have enough help to get things done.
Thanks and enjoy the rest of the summer,
