Classroom Wishlist

Ever wonder if your child's classroom of teachers need any supplies? Now it's easy to find out on the Frenchtown Teacher Wishlist on Amazon! 

This list will be updated regularly and you can browse to see who's looking for what - it's noted under each item which class or teacher it's for.

When you add an item, be sure to click the "THIS IS A GIFT BOX" and you'll have the option to ship the item directly to school (choose the GIFT REGISTRY ADDRESS). We suggest adding in the gift message which teacher you're buying for.

If you choose to buy an item from the list somewhere other than Amazon, you can select the "BUYING THIS GIFT ELSEWHERE" option and the item will be marked as purchased.

Please note that in addition to items each grade's teachers have requested, there are also items for the Mrs. Hayes in the library, Mrs. Brayton-Simmons, our school nurse, Mrs. Cavanaugh, one of the resource specialists and Community Partnership, which provides snacks to students who cannot provide their own. 

Thanks in advance for supporting our teachers and staff!

Make Your Mark on Frenchtown

Here’s your chance to leave a mark on the school by customizing ceiling tiles!

The hallway leading to the K classes was filled a few years ago and former students still love to come back and look at the tile they personalized.

Now Frenchtown is offering up 30 more tiles which will run along the center hallway. You can buy one for your family, one for each of your Frenchtown students, one for your scout troop, one for your child’s class – whatever you want.

Each tile costs $30 and you can customize them however you'd like. Not only will you be helping to beautify the school, but a portion of each sale goes to the PTG.

We're only selling 30 - get yours today before they sell out!

If you'd like to purchase a tile, please send a check for $30/tile made out to Frenchtown PTG in an envelope marked "PTG CEILING TILES" in your child's folder. Make sure to put your email address in the Memo section so we can be in touch to deliver your tile.
