Fall is For Planting! Bulb Sale Going on Now!

Spread the word! With the Fort River PGO’s help, your child will be selling Dutch Mill Bulbs as part of our fall fundraising efforts. It’s a great way to beautify our community and help fund the curriculum mini-grants that allow Fort River teachers to enhance our children’s educational experience. Plant the bulbs this fall, and in the spring, they will bloom and chase those winter blues away!


Our goal is to raise $600.00. The Fort River PGO will earn at least 50% profit on every package of bulbs sold. Economically priced and guaranteed by Dutch Mill Bulbs to grow and bloom, it’s an easy sell. Payment should be requested at the time of sale with cash or check made payable to Fort River PGO. Please be sure to turn your order in to your classroom teacher or the Main Office no later than Monday, October 5th. Thanks in advance for your support and participation!


  • Each bulb package option is conveniently priced at $8. We keep 50%!
  • Checks should be made out to "Fort River PGO.” Cash is also accepted!
  • Orders should be returned to your classroom teacher or the Main Office by October 5th.
  • Orders will be delivered to school at the correct planting time (October). Students will then distribute packages to their supporters. 
  • Questions can be sent to Stacey: sbeganny@gmail.com
  • Our custom Fort River online fundraising link is available for supporters outside of the local area: http://groups.dutchmillbulbs.com/fortriverelementaryschoolpgo.php


Be sure to let out-of-town friends and relatives know that they too can participate in our flower bulb fundraiser by using our custom link. The link will prompt your out-of-town supporters to select from 17 items (all guaranteed to grow and bloom!), provide billing and shipping information, and choose a secure method of payment (either credit card or PayPal).  Be sure they add your student’s name during the check-out process! Online orders are shipped directly to the customer based on the appropriate planting time for the state in which they live. A minimal shipping fee may apply (sorry - no shipments to Alaska or Hawaii). Online orders will be accepted through October 16th.


A template letter found here can be customized and sent by email to friends, family, and any other potential Fort River supporters. Thanks for participating and remember to thank all of your generous customers for supporting our school!
