The PGO is grateful to the 82 families who have contributed $4,400 to the PGO Annual Fund so far this year. (Last year at this time the Annual Fund had already raised $6700, so we have some catching up to do!) The goal of 100% participation is a yearlong effort and EVERY donation in ANY amount is appreciated.
Your Fort River PGO is very active and supports teachers, students, and families in many ways (see below). This support requires a healthy Annual Fund—and our hope is that every family will contribute. With a successful Annual Fund, our PGO can focus time and energy on teacher and student support, events, and community building. Please support the Annual Fund by making an annual donation.
You may send cash or check, payable to Fort River PGO, to the Main Office or click here to donate online using PayPal.
Thanks so much for supporting the Fort River PGO Annual Fund!
