Thanks
 to our great community of families for your continued support in honor 
of the staff and teachers at Fort River!  Every staff member received a 
special envelope at school the
 morning of the celebration filled with a note of gratitude from the PGO
 and the beautiful appreciation notes collected from children in all 
grades.  Over 60 staff enjoyed a wonderful after-school gathering at the
 Amherst Brewing Company. Thanks to the support
 of Fort River families, we more than covered the costs of the 
celebration and gifts, and staff were so grateful at the outpouring of 
generosity of our community. It really shows how much our families care 
about the staff and teachers of Fort River!  Leftover
 funds will go back to the staff towards upcoming events this spring and
 early fall.
Thank you everyone for your support!  Special thanks to Suzanne Severin 
and the front office team, and parents Sue Borden, Sarah Cartel, 
Jennifer Green, Amy Hampson, Liz Larson, Dawn Lepere, Becky Michaels, 
Suzanne Schilling, Jessica Sproehnle, and our student
 helpers for making the day a success.
