🍎🍏 Candy and caramel apples are in! For those that chose early pickup, there is a slight shift in time. You can pick up your apples between 2-3pm at Dana Elementary Center. For those that chose the later pickup, you can come between 4-6pm in the Dana Elementary Center parking lot. For orders under $50, your apples will be sent home with your child. Apples MUST be picked up today! Thank you! 🍏🍎

The Boo Grams are rolling in and seem to be a big hit! We can’t wait to send them out. PLEASE REMEMBER TO CUT YOUR BOO GRAMS OUT! You’ll see that wonderfully bold and in parentheses. 😉 We don’t want to make any more work for our volunteers. 🤗

Since the kids love it around Valentine’s Day, we’re going spread some Halloween sweetness! These paper will be sent home in the upcoming week or you can also save it from here.

All information can be found here:

If you see Sergeant Keiper today, make sure to wish him a very happy birthday! Serenade him right at the front steps, if you will. 😏

Thank you for keeping our school safe! We hope you have the best day!

Ladies and gentlemen signing up for the PTO:

This year we decided to go the route of having everything submitted electronically. It makes things easier for us to validate clearances on file by just typing in a name. You cannot submit the PTO form online without uploading your clearances. If you have sent in paper clearances, previously, we do not have every day access to them, so it is entirely too difficult for us to validate them. If you said you sent the original copies, you can request them online on the respective sites that you applied for them at. Uploading a screenshot of them is perfect!
