SPRING FEST SILENT AUCTION
Preparations for our spring fundraiser are underway and a big part of this event is our silent auction. If you own or work with a business that may be interested in supporting our fundraiser, or if your family has a vacation home, professional sports tickets, theater tickets or other useful items to donate, please contact Rebecca Krug or Wendy Brueckner at davidptoauction@gmail.com or 713-818-5011.
New this year: The Spring Fest Fundraiser will use an online auction tool in place of our traditional paper silent auction. The flyer below contains more information and log-in instructions.
GO TEXAN DAY
On Friday, March 6th, we will celebrate Go Texan Day at David Elementary School. Students and staff members are encouraged to wear their western outfits.
EARLY RELEASE DAY - FRIDAY, MARCH 6TH
Friday, March 6th, will be an early release day for all CISD students. The school day will begin at 8:05 a.m. and end at 12:10 p.m. Normal bus routes will run beginning at 12:10 p.m. If possible, students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch that day due to time constraints. However, a full menu will be available for purchase. Lunch times will be as follows:
K 10:55 -- 1st 11:00 -- 2nd 11:05
3rd 11:10 -- 4th 11:15
We request that parents not join their child for lunch on this day because all students will be eating in their classrooms.
SECOND GRADE FIELD TRIP
The second grade field trip to College Park High School to see “The Emperor's New Clothes,” will be held on Thursday, March 5th. Due to the limited amount of space in the auditorium, only teachers and one room parent per class will chaperone.
THIRD GRADE FIELD TRIP
The Third Grade Field Trip to Jones State Forest in Conroe will be held on Friday, April 3rd. Sign-ups for the chaperone lottery will begin on Wednesday, March 18th, and will end on Wednesday, March 25th. Because we have an obligation to chaperone the students in the class, it will not be possible to include siblings. You may sign up in person, call or email the front office at 281-298-4700 or slancaster@conroeisd.net or kimmount@conroeisd.net. Please do not email the teacher or room mom to sign up.
SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD APPRECIATION DAY - FEBRUARY 28TH
Conroe ISD is recognizing, Friday, February 28th, as Crossing Guard Appreciation Day. The crossing guards are unsung heroes that play a vital role in the students’ safety to and from school. Please take a moment and let our crossing guards know how much they are appreciated! The crossing guards assigned to David are Toni Hollen and Jo Lynne Marlin. Mr. Alirio Ramirez, our custodian, also has cross walk duty.

DAVID’S DREAM RUN
David’s Dream Run will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2020. Registration will open in March. This event is held to honor David Vetter’s dream to “run barefoot in the grass.” All proceeds from the one mile and 5K run/walk are donated to the David Clinic at Texas Children’s Hospital, Woodlands Campus. The David Clinic administers treatment and conducts research for children with Immune Deficient Disorders/Diseases. To date, the increase in funding and support has saved the lives of many children both right here in our own community and across the globe.
David’s Dream Run is a great way for the entire family to get involved in service to our community. So, mark your calendars, dust off your running shoes, and plan to attend/support this very special event! If you would like more information or if you would like to help out with the event, please contact Yvonne Larochelle (254.432.9127) or Sonya Dias (832.729.1766) or davidptodreamrun@gmail.com.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
The online system for Box Tops will now allow you to scan your receipt and give credit to your child's class. You must, however, list your child's teacher along with the grade level. Please do not list your child's name on the app, just the teacher and grade level.
Our spring Box Tops collection for the 2019-2020 year is underway. Participation is easy. Simply clip the Box Tops from participating products, place them in a Ziploc bag or envelope (labeled with your child’s teacher’s name and grade), and have your student drop them in the collection bin located near the front office. Please mark your calendar for our spring submission deadline, Friday, May 15, 2020.
If you have any questions, please contact Carly Jones or Jennifer Whitney at DavidPTOvendor@gmail.com. We will list the top two classes per grade level in the newsletter each week. Please note that the following numbers include both clipped Box Tops and on-line scans. Standings as of Friday, February 21st, are:
