October Recap

Fall Conference Book Fair

Thank you to all our volunteers and those who came out to shop at our Fall Conference Book Fair. We brought in nearly $4,000 in sales which means we made $1,974.38 for the DTS Library and teacher wish list books. Many of you also donated to “Share the Fair” by rounding up your purchase; we will be using this money to help pay for books for a DTS student during our Spring Scholastic Book Fair. THANK YOU!

Fall Picnic

What an amazing turnout for our Fall Picnic. We appreciate all the families who came out to connect with our DTS community. A special shout-out to Dough Co. Pizza for providing us with their yummy pizza. And to all the volunteers who set up, staffed the event, and tore down — thank you!! We couldn’t have had the successful event without you. We hope your families had as much fun as we did building community with one another.
