Family Literacy Night Thank You's

Wednesday evening's Family Literacy Night was a huge success!  After a well-attended PGO meeting, parents enjoyed a fantastic and informative presentation by Linda Castronovo on encouraging literacy in our children, while the kids worked with Mt. Holyoke students on an interactive read-aloud.  

Many thanks to all of the families that attended, as well as the dedicated Fort River staff who made it possible:  Linda Castronovo, Susan Kennedy Marx and her Mt. Holyoke college students,  Karen Lowe, Fran Luddington, and Monica Colley.

We also thank Diane Caraker and Ellare Books for holding the book fundraiser for the Serrano-Rosa family.  Thanks to personal donations and book purchases, the book sale raise $450!  Many thanks for helping this Fort River family.  

If you would like to help the Serrano-Rosa family, it's not too late.  Checks can be made payable to the "Ana Rosa Memorial Fund" and brought in to any branch of People's Bank or sent to:
