Dear 6th Grade Parents/Guardians;
It’s hard to believe it, but the Fort River Class of 2011(!) will soon be on their way to middle school!
We (Steve Brown and Lisa Oram – parents of Isabel Oram-Brown) have agreed to be the graduation coordinators, and we want to make it a special time for all our kids. We need your help, and we hope all 6th grade families will be involved in some way. We have detailed information from the parents, who have done this in the past, and the more people who help out, the easier and more fun it will be for all of us.
We will need volunteers to help out in the following areas:
- Slide Show: take and/or find photos, work on presentation. Need 1 – 2 people per class.
- Class Gift: work with the school administration and the kids to decide on gift, keep track of money, purchase/order gift, present gift at graduation. Need 1 – 3 people.
- Decorations: balloons, flowers, tablecloths, etc - make the gym and cafeteria look festive; work with school maintenance staff and donation committee; help the kids make memory boards. Need 10 – 15 people.
- Food: coordinate donations from parents and community, find 5th grade parents to staff reception. Need 1 person/class
- Community donations: solicit help from local businesses i.e. flowers, cake, helium, etc. We have sample letters and lists of previous year’s donations. Need 2 – 4 people.
- Program/Invitations: design, print, and distribute. Need 2 – 3 people.
