Thanks to the folks who have been sending in their Box Tops!

So far this year we have raised $141 for the PGO through this program. We'd love to double that by the end of the year, so keep them coming in! Have your child drop them off in the office any time.

Math Volunteers Wanted for After School Math Groups

The Fort River Math Specialist, Pam Szczesny, is looking for parent volunteers to help with two after school Math Groups that will be directed towards strengthening the math skills of underperforming students in 3rd and 4th grade.

The third grade group will meet on Wednesdays from 1:20-3:00.

The fourth grade group will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:05 - 4:00. Please note that parent volunteers for the fourth grade group would need to be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

2-3 parent volunteers for each group would be ideal. Pam and Polly Wagner, the district Elementary Math Leader, will provide an introduction and training for volunteers. For further details, please contact Sue Borden (FRPC.sborden@gmail.com).
