Donovan Strong Field Day Shirts 2020-2021
This year, although Field Day will look a lot different, we are still excited to have a special day planned for our students!
Our school will be sporting our "Donovan Strong Field Day shirts" during Field Day to show our Paw Power as one!
If you did not order a shirt, there is still ONE MORE DAY!
For a minimal price you can get a commemorative 2020-2021 Field Day Donovan Strong Shirt AND support LDS!!
Thank you for your support!
If you would like to order your field day shirt please send an email to LDSPTOWEB@gmail.com with your child’s name, teacher, t-shirt size (YS, YM, YL, AS, AM), parent name, parent email and form of payment ($8 per shirt) by Monday April 19th. Venmo is @LauraDonovan-PTO.
FIFTH GRADERS:
Fifth grade teachers agreed that in an effort to keep tradition, the 5th graders will be sporting their special 5th grade class shirt on that day.
HOWEVER, the Donovan Strong Field Day shirts are amazing!!
Fifth Grade families who have already ordered shirts can still order them if they wish to keep as memorabilia and still support LDS!
It is still a great way to support the school and have a piece of history from their graduating year.
For 5th grade parents who want a refund on the t-shirt Please have any (5th grade only) refund requests sent to LDSPTOWEB@gmail.com by Monday April 19th.

We need your help! We are looking for our amazing LDS parents to step up, get involved, and keep the school spirit alive and well.
