You can help by completing Finn’s Mission. When your student completes all the steps, they’ll earn a Lifesavers Cape and earn a chance to win two tickets to Super Bowl LXI in 2027! Sign up today at http://www2.heart.org/goto/Dogwood

We’re excited to launch Share the Fair, a giving program through Scholastic that allows our community to come together and support students who may not have the funds to purchase a book at the Book Fair.

Every donation—big or small—goes into a collective fund that ensures all students have the chance to choose a book they love.

When you give, you’re helping us build readers, spark curiosity, and make sure every child feels included.

Visit https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/dogwoodelementaryschool3 to Give now!
