DIS Annual Holiday Giving Program
Our 19th annual holiday giving program continues. Dover Intermediate as "adopted" 28 children from St. Malachi's after school program and 16 adult residents in the City of Westlake for this holiday season. DIS students will be raising money the next 2 weeks (Dec 4-Dec 15) for these 44 people that could use the generosity of our DIS community to brighten their holidays! Students have been encouraged to give of themselves (donate their weekly allowance, do chores around the house or for a neighbor to earn money, skip buying ice cream in the cafeteria for the next 2 weeks, etc) and to share this donation for the people our school have "adopted". Student council reps will be shopping for requested gifts and then the gifts will be wrapped by the students of DIS and delivered. We hope that this program gives all our DIS students an opportunity to help others. Thank you for supporting this program and helping your child understand what the holiday season is truly about!
