Make your Volunteer Hours Count!
In order to keep track of
your volunteer hours we are asking each person to complete a volunteer form. The
forms can be found in the volunteer binder in the Main Office. When you come to
the school to volunteer you must go to the Main Office to sign in and get a
badge. At this time you should complete a volunteer form. Place the form in the
binder under the divider with the letter of your last name. This form will
remain in the binder where you may continue to add your volunteer hours each
time you come to school. Please adhere to this procedure as it is the only
tracking method in place. We would like to thank Irene Gaston from the Main
Office for creating the binder for us and for all the work she does for the
PTSA!

Ride the Bus - It may be Free!

The PTSA is conducting a cell phone and ink cartridge recycling drive and fundraiser. It couldn't be easier: all you have to
do is bring your used digital cell phones and/or used ink jet cartridges to school and drop them
in the box in the Main Office of DCS. We're working with an organization that will recycle them properly, protecting
the environment, or refurbish and resell them. This organization will provide the PTSA with a fee for each donation you make!
Learn more about them at
www.EcoPhones.com/schools. If you have questions, contact
Kathryn Blakeman.
