Defer Dragon's Burning News
September 14, 2018
From the Principal
Dear Defer Families,
It was another great week at Defer! Our "one and done" fundraiser is off to an amazing start! The focus for the week was to have all students registered for the Defer Fun Run. Every student will receive a neon green Fun Run headband after registration! Your generosity supports school programs, subscriptions, apps, technology, flexible seating and much more for all students at Defer. Thank you to our Defer PTO, the Fun Run Coordinators, and every Defer family for your support. Students celebrated this week with Fun Hair/Hat day and some classes earned a pizza party!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Dr. Rheaume
Drop Off and Pick Up Reminders
- There is No Parking on Kercheval in front of the building.
- There is No Parking along either side of Nottingham near Defer. Parking on the west side of Nottingham is allowed only during posted times and locations.
- Since there is no parking anywhere on the east side of Nottingham, parents can drop off students at any point along the full length of Nottingham from Vernor to Kercheval on the Defer side of the street. You do not need to wait until you get in front of the Defer gate to drop off or pick up your child.
- Bottom line---Please Stop, Drop and Go! This will help the traffic to flow smoothly.
Library News
Grades Y5-2 are learning about how to look for books in our library. They are practicing library rules and having fun listening to stories about shelf elves!
