Ready, set, go! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Join the Foxes Council for the Dorseyville Middle School 5K and Kids Dash! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, this race has something for everyone. The 5K will have you cruising through Hartwood Acres with the wind in your hair (and hopefully no puddles). And for the little speedsters, the Kids Dash is the perfect opportunity to show off those fast feet!

All proceeds from this event go directly to Foxes Council and support student activities and events at our school. We hope you’ll consider signing up and joining us for a fun-filled day!

Come for the race, stay for the bragging rights. We can’t wait to see you there—just don’t forget to stretch! 😉

The DMS PTO School Store is open Tuesdays during all lunch periods throughout the school year. We are closed in the event of a 2-hour delay, school cancellation, or early dismissal and can only open with parent volunteers with clearances on file in the FCASD Raptor System.

If you can stay the whole 3 hours yourself.....THANK YOU, just go ahead and schedule both shifts. If you're new and would like someone who has done it in the past to join, just let us know and we'll make sure you are covered. Contact Stacy Graham at [email protected] or 703-728-3276 with questions.
