❤️The Gordon Owino Hear Foundation sells Rock the Red red bows each year that can be tied on mailboxes. This year the foundation is also selling business bows and backpack bows (great for our students!) Bows are $10.50, Backpack Bows are $5.50, and Business Bows are $15.50. 100% of profits are allocated to helping families who struggle due to their child's heart condition that requires frequent medical appointments, hospital admissions, and increased caregiver needs.

❤️Bows can be ordered starting now through January 23rd. When selecting your bows, it will ask you to select a GO Rep. Please choose Fort Mill Elementary School on the dropdown bar. Your bows will be delivered to the school and can be picked up at Kelly Mac's desk.

❤️Site to order: https://goheartfoundation.org/rockthered

❤️During the entire month of February we will collect donations from the FMES community. Students and families can send in cash donations or checks (made payable to the Gordon Owino Heart Foundation) that will be sent up to the main office for collections. Any amount is ok! The grade level that collects the most money during the month of February will receive a grade level donut party in cafeteria on the morning of Thursday, March 16th (alternate treat for allergy students will be provided as necessary).

❤️Every Friday in February, the entire school will be asked to wear RED.
