Thanks Again-Keep those pledges coming!
The Boosterthon fundraiser was another great success. We made it to our goal of $15,000 in pledges! Way to go Dyer students, parents, families, and friends! Now we just need to collect all of the funds while our PTA is still in the process of entering money that is coming in. If your student has any outstanding pledge money that has not been collected it is not too late to turn it in. Please send in any pledge money as soon as you receive it. We look forward to shopping for a new playground shade structure for our students to enjoy with the generous donations. Go Bears!
