Original Works PGO Fundraiser

This year the PGO teams up with Original Works to create student designed art printed on a variety of products. This week, Fort River students will bring home a piece of white paper to make their own drawing or design. The paper should be returned to school by Friday, October 13th - there will be a box in the Main Office labeled "Original Works Art."  

Later in October, students will bring home an order form listing the many products that can be ordered with their unique design printed on them. Any products ordered will arrive at school in early December. Students do not have to participate or order items.  

• Please be sure students write their NAME and TEACHER on the back of the paper
• Images or color should fill the page

This fundraiser will benefit the Fort River PGO and the activities and events it supports.  

Thank you for participating.

Original Works Deadline Extended!

The deadline for Original Works orders has been extended to Monday, November 21. So if you were thinking about creating those special gifts from your kids for the holidays you have the weekend to get artistic! Contact Sue Borden at frpc.sborden@gmail.com with questions, and click here for more information on the program.

Original Works orders due Nov. 15

Original Works order forms are due on November 15th.  This is a fundraiser where our kids (and even younger siblings!) can transform their artwork into individual full color products that can be shared with family and friends.  Items will be back in time for the December holidays.   Kids can create artwork for this at home or use artwork already created.  

Feel free to review the Original Works suggestions and introductory letter that were sent home with your child.  We also have answers to Frequently Asked Questions.  Price lists are available both in English and Spanish.  If you need an additional order form, they are available in the school office.  Contact Sue Borden at FRPC.sborden@gmail.com for more information.
