Sixth Grade Graduation Planning Meeting: Thursday, Apr. 30 at 7pm

Graduation will be Friday June 19 @ 1:30 pm with the student dance that evening. Mark your calendars! We need the help of as many parents as possible in order to make this a successful event. If you would like to volunteer please contact either co-chairs Jan Kelly at janandkevink@comcast.net or Cathy Cullen at cullorder@comcast.net. Areas where we need help are: 1. Donation Committee: Anyone interested in helping solicit local area businesses for donations or goods in kind. This committee currently needs a co-chair and several individuals to help with the task. Our budget is tight and donations will determine how much we can do. 2. Photos for the Powerpoint presentation: Lynn Hayes, chair of this committee, has asked that anyone who has photos of any sixth grader in activities or events over the years at Fort River to either e-mail them to her at hay3bay@comcast.net or burn a CD and put it in the Parent Council mailbox with Lynn’s name. The more photos we have the more choices we can make. Each student will have a current photo but to have more candid pictures will make for a memorable power point for our kids. 3. Chair 6th Grade class Gift and contact for Roger Wallace’s class. 4. Other areas to volunteer are decorating the gym and cafeteria. The actual decoration will happen the night before, however we need creative individuals to develop a theme and prepare decorations for both the cafeteria and the gym in the weeks before. Liz Larson has agreed to chair the committee. Everyone will be contacted closer to the event to bring in food for the reception. There will be a planning meeting on Thursday, April 30 from 7:00- 9:00 in the Fort River Library. We recognize that spring is very busy; however, this meeting will be a roll up the sleeves and get things done time so try to attend if at all possible. We will talk about the event and break into committees in order to minimize other meetings needed.
