2022 Fall River Fox Trot ~ Friday, September 23rd

Featured

Welcome back!  We are kicking off the year with our annual Fox Trot! This is a fun run FUNdraiser hosted by the Fall River PTO every September to help raise special funds for financial grants for Fall River teachers, students and facilities!  Some of the grants are used for: a Reading PARA; Kindergarten Lexia Core5 Reading licenses for all Kindergartners; transportation expenses for field trips; and grants for homeroom teachers, specials teachers, counselors, and the Special Education team etc. This is our one big fundraiser we participate in as a whole and is used to directly benefit the school each year. We want to stress that the most important part of the Fox Trot is for the kids to have fun!

The Fox Trot is held at Stephen Day Park and the course is the sidewalk loop close to the parking lot. The students go to Stephen Day Park by grade level and run with their teacher/class. Discovery Den and Preschoolers run/walk 1 lap, Kindergartners run/walk for 15 minutes, and 1st-5th graders run/walk for 20 minutes. The kids can collect either flat donations or per lap. Every student gets a complimentary Fox Trot t-shirt (also used for field trips, spirit days, and field days). 

PTO gives out prizes to the kids for helping fundraise. Raising $25 earns a fun color changing cup and $100 raised earns an invite to The Ultimate Fox Party on Friday, September 30th (bounce houses, KONA ice, popcorn, dance party, and more fun)).  To add to the fun, there is also friendly competition between classes in grades K-5th.  The class in each grade level that raises the most money as a class earns an ice cream party. Also, PTO has put together some fun goodie bags for the top three fundraising Foxes in the school.

Fundraising envelopes and Race Day permission slips will be coming home in Friday folders.   

For online donations:

Parent Teacher Conference Meals Volunteer Signups (Tue 10/5, Thur 10/7, & Wed 10/13)

Featured

Hi Fall River Foxes,

Parent Teacher Conferences are quickly approaching, which means long 12-hour days for our hard-working Fall River staff.  The PTO’s goal is to make the experience more bearable by providing dinner for them. There is a different menu for each night.  Each menu includes contributions of various levels of complexity from entrées and desserts to drinks, condiments, and sides.  Homemade, store-bought, or carry-out are all welcome.


Please label any homemade items with the ingredients as some of our teachers have specific dietary restrictions.  


Please label all your personal dishes and crock pots with your name.  We have serving utensils, so please keep yours at home to avoid misplacing them with our collection.  After dinner we will wash your dishes and return them to the office for you to pick up the next day. 


For Volunteer opportunities, please go to:

Drinks: https://fallriverpto.org/volunteer/2021/conference-meal-drinks-fall-2021/


Tues 10/5: https://fallriverpto.org/volunteer/2021/breakfastdinner/

Thurs 10/7:https://fallriverpto.org/volunteer/2021/asian-night/


Weds 10/13: https://fallriverpto.org/volunteer/2021/chili-potato/

Drinks and other nonperishable food items may be dropped off at the front office starting today. Hot/cold food items can be dropped off at the front office on the day of that dinner between 3:15-5pm.  We ask that if it is a hot item that you lend us a crockpot or warming dish to keep that food item hot until dinner time.  

Please email board@fallriverpto.org with any questions.

Thank You,

Parent Teacher Conference Meals

Featured

Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up on February 2nd, 4th, and 10th.  We as parents get to sign in from the comfort of our homes.  However, our Fall River teachers and staff will still be at school for the long days that are Parent Teacher Conferences .  PTO would like to provide dinner for our dedicated teachers and staff.  We are still unable to do our typical potluck meals this Spring due to COVID/circumstances.  However, we are working on some fun catered meal ideas.  For the Fall Conference Meals, the teachers and staff enjoyed Build Your Own Bowls from Smokin Bowls, Pizza from Papa Johns, and a Taco Bar from Jefes.  We estimate it will cost on average $10 per teacher/staff per night to feed everyone remaining at school to hold Parent Teacher Conferences.  With approximately 40 teachers and staff per night and 3 nights of conferences,  our goal is $1,200. Anything we raise above that will be applied to Teacher Appreciation Week. If you would like to help, please contribute at  https://pledge. fallriverpto.org/ or go to  https://fallriverpto.org/ volunteer/2021/conference- meal-drinks-spring-2021/ to see beverages needed for the conference meals.  Purchased beverages can be dropped off at the front office at any time during normal office hours before Tuesday, February 2nd.
