The generosity of this community allows the 5th Grade trip to Boston to be accessible to all students. Thanks also to Hillside Pizza for being an outstanding community partner who prioritizes non-profit fundraising activities AND delivers a delicious, locally sourced product!

Hillside Pizza granted the 5th Grade team a very generous weather extension. Pizza and cookie dough orders are due today (Friday, 2/10) by 10 am. Simply fill out the form that went home in backpacks or drop into the Main Office this morning if yours has been misplaced.

Thank you to all who have ordered! It has been a tremendous success so far and we are eager to distribute everything NEXT THURSDAY AFTER SCHOOL. Pizza pickup is in the Fort River lobby on February 16 from 3 to 5:30pm.

Buy Earth-Friendly Lunch Bags during the Hillside Pizza Pickup, Thursday, June 10, 3:05-5:30pm

Don't forget that you can pick up your Hillside pizza orders on Thursday, June 10, from 3:05 to 5:30 pm. Contact Libby Stanforth with questions.

Parent Council is pleased to announce that we will be offering locally made--by a Fort River parent--reusable lunch bags for sale in the school lobby during the pizza pick-up hours.

Here's a description of the bags:

LBaggies...
A re-useable alternative to plastic bags!

lbaggies.com

Our fun and colorful baggies are great for snacks, sandwiches, and just about anything!
We make our baggies with a 100% cotton print outer (we also have 100% organic cotton choices) and a waterproof inner (PU coated nylon). Lbaggies are food safe and free of lead, phlalates, BPA, and PVC.

Lbaggies come in two sizes: snack (6 in. x 6 in.) and sandwich (7 in. x 7 in.) and have a snap closure. We find snaps work better than aplix/velcro so you don't get all those icky crumbs stuck in the closure. And you won't smoosh your sandwich snapping them closed- just pinch the fabric from the outside to snap together.

Locally made in Amherst by a Fort River parent. Stock up for summer camp lunches while going green!

Prices: $5 for snack size  
            $6 for sandwich size
