Annual Fund Update

At the start of this year Parent Council decided to shift its focus toward student events and community building and away from fundraising.  To do so we challenged the Fort River community to help us raise a significant portion of our $13,000 budget in September, through our Annual Fund. 

So far, this year's Annual Fund has raised $6150 from about 30% of Fort River families.  Thank you to all those families who donated.  Because of this great start to our fundraising, Parent Council feels confident enough to eliminate one fundraiser.  Therefore, this year we will NOT be running the Holiday Gift Wrap Sale!

However, we are still counting on continued Annual Fund donations to get us through the year. If you have not yet donated, there is still time!  Our goal continues to be 100% participation of all Fort River families.  The suggested donation is $25-$50 a child, but donating more will help the families who cannot afford as much.  And, contributions of any size can help us reach our goal.

Once again, THANK YOU to all the families who have already donated.  If you have not, please do so.

Send cash or check (payable to "Fort River Parent Council") to the Fort River Office
(mail it or send it to school with your child to give to his/her teacher)
