Afterschool programming planning survey
Do you have ideas for afterschool programs? We'd love to hear them! Please fill out our survey to help us find out what kinds of programs you are considering for your kiddos next school year. You can find the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DCGKHDL. Thanks!
2019-2020 Committee Signups are open!
Visit our SignUp Genius to join any open committee. Whether you work outside the home or in, there are ways to contribute! Thank you for supporting our teachers and our students and their families! We especially need someone for School Supply Kits, a great job for someone who works during the day and can only volunteer nights and weekends!

Cheer on our athletes and performers!
Check the school calendar to find out when and where to show your support for our talented students.
Recycle your markers!
District 3 is participating in the Crayola Colorcycle program! There are now boxes set up at ARS, FRGMS, and FRG Library where old markers can be deposited. Once we gather a full box, Crayola will pay for us to ship them back and they will recycle them! Any plastic marker can be recycled, including washable markers, highlighters, permanent markers, and dry erase markers. So don't throw away those old dried out markers at home! Have your child bring them into school so that they can be recycled - boxes will be out for the remainder of the school year!
Congratulations to our latest Box Tops winners!

PTO Teacher Grants: The FRG PTO provided each teacher in the district with a Start-up grant of $75 each to supplement learning supplies that many of our teachers have to purchase with their own funds. With many teachers investing over $500 a year of their own funds on supplies for their classrooms, these funds are just a small way to help support our teachers and the excellent job they do.
