8th Grade Parents!!!!!!
Dear 8th Grade Parents
As your PTA Board we have been working hard to make the end of the year special for our kids moving on from DMS.
We have a special day planned for them on April 26,2019 beginning with distribution of the 8th grade shirts that morning in homeroom. These shirts are provided at no cost by the PTA and are only available to the 8th graders.
The 8th grade students will then get to spend their lunch period eating with the peers at the picnic tables in back of the school and will be provided a special Ice cream/Popsicle while they enjoy what we hope to be a beautiful day.
Finally after dismissal the PTA is hosting a Hollywood Style Walk of Fame/ Instagram Dance for the 8th grade class. We will be holding the kids who have purchased a ticket in a location after dismissal and allowing them to walk the Purple Carpet into the dance.
We have several opportunities where you can be a part of these events! if you are interested in helping with this special day for your 8th grader, please let us know you'd love to be a volunteer by entering your information on the link below. This process is made easy and simple, with dance ticket and permission being given for the admission to the dance found on My Payments Plus, under "School Fees"
