Calling all volunteers!

The Fort River teachers and staff would appreciate your help to get ready for the new school
year and to make each day a great one for every student. There are many different ways to help, from on-going projects to 15-minute activities to being a room parent. Please consider giving your time to our children’s school. You can make a real difference with even a little bit of time.

Thank you!
