Fort River Family Fun Fair hosted by 6th Grade on Wednesday, September 27 at 5:30pm

THIS WEDNESDAY! 

Please join the Fort River community in celebrating the start of the new school year at the Fort River Family Fun Fair hosted by 6th Grade. The event will be held on the Fort River playground on Wednesday, September 27 beginning at 5:30pm. 

Food will be available. Our 6th grade students will be selling pizza, drinks, and dessert and have also organized fun games for younger students. All proceeds will help to support their activities throughout the year. You may bring a picnic dinner for your family if you prefer.

NEW THIS YEAR! Halloween costume store - all costumes are FREE! Please bring costumes that you'd like to donate - it's great for Planet Earth and your wallet to reuse costumes. Families may take what they can use from the store for FREE! No donation is required to take costumes. All sizes will be accepted (including adult) but please no weapons.

All 6th grade families should try to bring a dessert or drink contribution. Desserts should be nut free and please attach an ingredient list if possible. In addition, we also need parent volunteers for help on the night of the fair. Help is needed for set up, clean up, and general supervision of the games. Parents are also needed to supervise the students while they are serving food. Thanks in advance for all your help!
