Welcome to the start of the new year! Our first bit of exciting news is that the Fort River Parent Council has changed its name to the Parent/Guardian Organization or PGO. With so many families changing schools due to redistricting, this new name will bring continuity to the parent organizations of Fort River, Crocker Farm, and Wildwood, who will also use the name PGO.
Our PGO works to help make Fort River a fun, stimulating, and welcoming environment for all children and families. Every parent and guardian is a member of the Fort River PGO.
Here are some of the PGO sponsored events:
- Free Yearbook
- Free Student Directory
- Family Fair
- Science Night
- School Picture Day
- Book Fairs
- Field Day
- International Fair
- Coffee with the Principal
- Special Education Staff needs
- Classroom Support & Enrichment
- Extra Funds for Field Trips
- Library Fund
- Scholarship Fund
- After School Clubs
- Staff Appreciation Luncheon
- Bus Driver Breakfast
- And much more …
