FALL DANCE:  Our Student Council is putting on a fall dance for our 6^th, 7^th & 8^th grade students Friday, October 21^st from 5:00pm – 7:00pm in our MPR.   The dress is casual - dress code will be in effect.   No costumes will be permitted at the dance.   The cost is $10 and the tickets are being sold during lunch periods.  So grab your most comfortable dancing shoes and your friends and make it a night out!  The more the merrier!!   Need volunteers for various jobs.   If you can help out please contact Shelly Schubert at:   shelly.schubert@dvusd.org. 

OUR BOOK FAIR IS HERE NEXT WEEK!!   Our fall book fair starts this Monday, October 24^th  and runs through Friday, October 28^th  !!   If you’d like to help our teachers build their classroom libraries there are TWO ways to help!  

1. We will have donation slips available for you to donate any dollar amount you’d like and at the end of the week your child’s teacher will come in and buy all the books they can with their donations.The teacher will be given “donated by” stickers to put in the books so they know who to thank!

   OR

2. During classroom preview your child’s teacher will pull books from the fair and put them in their bucket.You can simply pull the book from the bucket and purchase it!!Just let the cashiers know it for a teacher so they can give you a “donated by” sticker to put inside!It’s extra special if your child is the one to give the book to his/her teacher.
