Acts of Service for Amara (Sparrow Program)
So far DCD students have completed 121 acts of service. Our school goal is 300. When we reach 300 hours of service Amara's family will receive $3000 to help with medical bills. Acts of service cannot be completed for family members but friends, neighbors, or volunteer opportunities with family members are good options.
Date Night Opportunity for Parents which Supports the Sparrow Program
Parents, are you looking for a fun date night opportunity that supports a good cause? There is only a little over a week left for people to purchase tickets to our Game Show Gala on March 18th! The event includes Dinner, a silent auction and a Dessert Dash. Tickets must be purchased by March 2. This fundraiser helps us continue the work the Sparrow Program does for families and funding is needed after the loss of funding during Covid.
