Hello there,
I know why you are having trouble finding resources on the web for Pro/Engineering, School Edition... Because it is Pro/Engineer, School Edition. :-) You didn't mention if it was the Pro Engineer WildFire 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 release, or something else, so your mileage may vary when working with Pro/Engineer part files or tutorials.
I don't have a ready made part file for you, nor do I have the program these days, but I can point you to the places you will find all the help in the world:
The Pro/Engineer help and support forum at MCADCentral is a great resource:

I don't know if it would help you to model starting from an existing bottle part file that isn't exactly the Pro/ENGINEER part file you hope to end up with, but it always help me to have a general guide to the shape, core and cavity design before I step into a project, CAD or otherwise. If you would like some pre-fabbed part designs for modeling bottles in Pro/Engineer, then follow this link:

... and use the search feature with the keyword: "bottle" (no quotes.)
The one that has no preview image is a 1-liter bottle and may be your closest starting point.
If you are going to really go crazy with this, there is a book you might look into:
"Pro/ENGINEER Solutions and Plastic Design" By Norm Ladouceur, John McKeen
... which covers just about everything you could want to know about working with plastics in Pro/Engineer.
You can even preview the book at google books:

I hope you have fun with the project and learn bunches.
May I also say what a nice treat it is to see a young lady take an interest in engineering? So rare these days it seems.
Thanks for brightening my day,
DN.
