Family Literacy Night
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"
