Send a blank email to the following address: fort_river_pgo-unsubscribe@npogroups.org. You will be automatically unsubscribed.

Field Day News

Dear Parents,

Just a reminder that Field Day is Wednesday, June 22! Field day is a school wide event that allows the children to get outside for sun and fun. There will be a variety of outdoor activity stations on the field and playground where children can run, jump, throw, slide, dribble, and dance.

Please send your children to school with a bathing suit or change of clothing because there are many water activities that morning. Also, it would be a good idea to send in sunscreen, a water bottle, towel, hat and appropriate shoes.

Parents are invited to join their children for a picnic outside. Bring a blanket and either buy lunch for $3.25 or bring one. Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers and Veggie burgers will be on the menu that day.


The day will be divided into three play times:
9:00-9:45      Kindergarten
9:30-10:45    1st, 2nd, 3rd
11:00-12:15  4th, 5th, 6th

Picnic times:
1st, 2nd:         11:30
Kindergarten: 11:45
3rd, 4th:         12:00
5th, 6th:         12:30

We will have many stations, and we still need some parent volunteers to keep it safe and fun. Please take some time to join in the fun and volunteer to help. Stay for the picnic with your child. Volunteers can sign up by clicking here, by emailing Tammy Schulkind at trahhal@psych.umass.edu or calling her at 230-3431.

Congrats Graduates!

Congratulations to our 6th grade Classroom Parents and all graduating 6th graders and their families! It was such fun to see so many proud parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends at our school on Friday. We will truly miss our many dedicated 6th volunteer parents and students. Best wishes to all of you! Many thanks also to the volunteers who helped with 6th grade graduation!

Classroom Parents Needed for Next Year

If you are willing to volunteer as a class parent next year, please contact Michele Spirko. Assignments will be made in August when class lists become available.

Next year will surely be a very exciting time at our school as we welcome our new principal, Monica Colley. It should be a terrific environment for volunteers with lots of new initiatives and enthusiasm. Please join us!

The Yearbooks Are Coming!

The yearbook will be distributed this week, through the classroom teachers. Each child and staff member will receive a copy, thanks to funding provided by the PGO annual fund. If you would like to contribute to the annual fund, it is still possible. (Click this link to pay via PayPal.)

Thank you to our volunteer yearbook committee Joy Sullivan and Kathy Niedzielski and to our support photographers Sue Borden and Lynn Hayes. Thank you to those classes and teachers who provided candid shots. Next year we are planning for a yearbook club. If your child would be interested in participating,  you can send an email to the yearbook committee at yearbook.fortriver@gmail.com.  More information will be provided in the fall.
