Time to Assemble the Parent Council Board for Next Year!

This past year the Parent Council Board minimized the number of fundraisers held and instead concentrated on the rest of what we do: 

Providing the Student Directory, Yearbook, Fort River Blog. Book Swap.

Organizing events such as the Family Fair, Multicultural Fair, Science Night and Field Day.

Supporting Teachers through funding, volunteers and the upcoming Staff Appreciation Luncheon.

Supporting Student Enrichment activities and field trips through funding and grant requests and much much more. 

This year many of Parent Council's veteran parent volunteers are "graduating" to the Middle School.  If we want to continue to support our teachers and sustain the events and programs we have provided in the past, we need new blood!

There will be many openings on the Parent Council Board for the coming year.  Please let us know if you are interested.  Better yet, grab a friend and volunteer together!  Parent Council is a great way to meet other parents, get to know teachers and staff and see what's going on in your child's school life. Every parent/guardian at Fort River is a member of Parent Council.  Board members steer the direction of the various projects.

Next year's Parent Council Board will be assembled  during the May 11th meeting at 8:45 am. Please contact Sue Borden or any Parent Council officer for further information and consider nominating yourself for one of the board positions.  Decisions about the following year's activities and budget will be made during the June 2nd meeting.  

Thanks for getting involved !
