Parents & Guardians:
Next week is a short but busy week for us at school. We have extended our collections for nonperishable food items and donations to Tuesday, November 26th. All of our can goods and money donations will be counted and delivered to CHIP-IN (our local food pantry) on Wednesday, November 27th. It's not too late to get involved. Make chacks payable to: CHIP-IN and bring in nonperishable food items if you would like to help out. I personally want to thank everyone so far as we are definitely heading in the right direction.
May all of you be blessed with family and friends on Thanksgiving Day!
I hope everyone has an amazing week and a very Happy Thanksgiving holiday!

School News:
Annual CHIP-IN Food Drive & Donation Collection
Between now and November 25th, we will begin our annual campaign for supporting our local food pantry: CHIP-IN. Will will be having a contest to see what homeroom can bring in the most non-perishable can goods. All food items will be stored in the homerooms until Tuesday, November 26th. Let's see how much of a difference we all can make for our community! Also, last year we raised over $2,200.00 for this cause as well. We will have collection jars out to collect change and small donations. If you would like to get involved with us, please feel free to make a check payable to: CHIP-IN and drop it off at our school. This is such a great event each year and we couldn't do it without your support. Please e-mail me directly with any questions at dpackard@dcrsd.org

The REMIND app we have been using no longer allows over 150 participants so I had to create a class for each school. Could you please send out the information below so CMS parents get the info to join? Either through your REMIND system or in email form?
