The PGO extends a special thank you to the 28 families who have already supported our Annual Fund. Your donations help to fund PGO activities including field trips, cultural events, books for the library, and the free directory your child just brought home! We have already raised $2,020 and still need contributions from more families to meet our budgeted goal.
Your help makes a dramatic difference in the lives of our children. Remember that even a $1.00 donation helps increase our goal of 100% family participation! All contributions are tax deductible and you may opt to have your donation honor a particular teacher or staff member at Fort River. Checks (made out to Fort River PGO) or cash can be sent to the PGO mailbox in the main office or you may pay via PayPal on the blog. Contact Catherine McGraw at catherine.fortriver@gmail.com with any questions.

After School Art Session with Multi-Arts
Students will have the opportunity to create Original Works art in an after school art session being held with the Multi-Arts program TOMORROW Tuesday, November 8, from 3:15 to 4:15 pm. This session is sponsored by Catalina Arrubla, a former Fort River parent and director of the Multi-Arts program. Catalina has volunteered supplies and staffing, but space is limited. If your child is interested in attending please reserve a spot at info@multi-arts.org. Transportation home will not be provided after this session, so please plan accordingly. Volunteers willing to help supervise would also be welcome. **********************************************************
The Fort River PGO is happy to be participating again in Original Works, a fundraiser where our kids 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 at the After School Art Session on Tuesday, November 8 (see below) or use artwork already created. The due date is November 15th. This program has been a hit with both parents and kids for many years. There will be examples of products created in the past available to check out at the art session. Contact Sue Borden at FRPC.sborden@gmail.com for more information.
The Directory is Here!
Many thanks to the volunteer team who worked many hours on this effort! Kudos to parents Dror Shmerling, Jen Vanderleeden, and Peter Michaels for a job well done. And thanks to Susan Raker for the fabulous cover art.
