Thanks for a Great Year!

Thanks for a great year at Fort River! As we are winding down this school year, the PGO is already planning ahead for September. At our final PGO meeting of the year last week, we elected officers for next school year. You can see the meeting minutes and budget HERE.

While many of the volunteer coordinators for PGO events are continuing, we are always looking for volunteers to help organize and guide our events! In particular, we still have openings for the officer positions of Vice-President and Blog Editor. If you are interested in taking over either of these positions, or simply getting involved with the PGO, please contact new PGO President Liz Larson. Many thanks to outgoing officers Pam Rietkerk, Michele Spirko and Catherine McGraw for all their work in helping make Fort River great.

Thanks for a great year, and have a fantastic summer!

- 2011-2012 Officers Pam Rietkerk (Chair), Michele Spirko (Vice-chair), Catherine McGraw (Secretary), Liz Larson (Treasuerer), & Erin Cherewatti (Blog Editor)

A Thank You from Teri Magner

Art teacher Teri Magner just sent this wonderful note to the PGO and parents, thanking us for helping her out!

"Dear FR PGO,

I am writing to thank you, once again, for your tremendous support of the teachers and programs at Fort River School!  Our dedication to our students and the quality of their programs is maintained and enhanced and appreciated beyond words (this is where I should “draw a picture”) by your support!

I am specifically writing today about the new ART program printer that you generously purchased last week!  Not only did Jenn Green jump right on researching and purchasing a new one when the old printer broke, but Mark Marasco came to the rescue and installed it this week!  There was a very short time for the program to be without this invaluable resource!  It is such an important tool for teaching art today, to have real time visual resources available to students to support their individual creative ideas while in art class!

 Thank you again for your enormous support for our school!

Teri Magner"
