PTO UPDATE
Happy January!
I can't believe the school year is half over already! What a busy holiday season with the fall fundraiser wrapping up. It was a huge success, many thanks to everyone for their support. Each grade level will be able to receive funds towards their field trips and other activities! (Prizes are coming!)
Then we had Angel Fund Boxing day and an icy delivery the next morning. Thank you to our wonderful teachers and staff who took time out of their winter break to help us deliver food and treats to over 130 families in our school. Also a huge thank you to the "Angels" who helped pick up the food on the most bitter windy cold day of the year... and to the wonderful families/businesses who donated towards this year's event. Your generosity is amazing!
Our final event was the Winter Break Family Dinner Night. If you missed it.. plan on attending next year! What a great evening we had.. thank you all for coming out and enjoying our FREE event. We couldn't have had such a great event without the support of the following area businesses and their generous donations! Thank you's go out to:
314 PIzza, Anthony's Pizza- Senseny Rd, Apple Blossom Diner, Applebees, Fit Food w/Barbara Hineline, Brewbakers, Buca di Beppo, Carabbas, CiCi's Pizza,Costco, CTE (Come to Eat), Dickey's BBQ, Castiglia's Pizza Amore, Donatos Touch of Italy, Italian Touch, Ledo Pizza, Legend Asian Restaurant, Martins Grocery Stores, McDonalds (Nerangis Enterprises), Mission BBQ, New World Pasta, Papermill Place Restaurant, Perkins, Peru's Chicken, Sweet Tooth Bakery and last but not least, Umbertos Pizza and Pasta!!
And a huge thank-you to our volunteers.. without you we couldn't have been able to serve all our fabulous attendees! A special thank you to the DMMS Football players who came and volunteered their time, and to the Handley DECA club for running the Family Bingo part of the evening! Also thank you to the Handley Interact club for their assistance with cleanup! The whole event was a huge hit!
Next up is our January PTO Meeting (open to all DMMS families and teachers) on Tuesday January 17th at 7pm in the Little Theater at the school. We will be discussing our Spring Fundraiser, Parent -Teacher conference dinners and other upcoming events. Please join us to find out whats new/happening at our school!
If you can't join us at the PTO Meeting but want to keep up on what is happening feel free to "like" DMMS PTO on Facebook or sign up for our email list by Clicking Here! Spread the word to your friends and family!
Don't forget to sign up / or update your Martin's Bonus card and make DMMS your school of choice! The program ends in March...so please help us earn extra funds before its too late for the 16/17 school year!
Everyone have a great January... and remember.. Spring is just around the corner!
Until next month!
