Of Interest to Fort River Families

Please note that these events are not sponsored by Parent Council.

Multi-Arts introduces a new electronic magazine, which can be read by anyone in the world at any time and connects schools to the real-world. The electronic magazine has been visited by readers from Ireland to Singapore. In the spring edition, Multi-Arts featured the talented writers from Fort River Elementary School. Pieces ranged from the sweet view of a first grader about her new baby sister, to the crazy story of an imaginative fourth grader about to inhabit another planet. Please come and visit the beautiful and innovative magazine at http://www.multi-arts.org/.
