MAGAZINE DRIVE UPDATE
Thank you to everyone who has ordered a magazine to support our fundraiser. If you have not had an opportunity to place a magazine order, or would like to place an additional order, the last turn in day is Tuesday, October 10th! We are adding an incentive for that day:
Every 3 orders
(paper or internet) turned in for Tuesday, earns a chance in a drawing.
The prize for the drawing will be based on the total number of orders the school receives for the final turn in date on October 10th.
300 school orders --- drawing prize will be an iPod Nano
600 school orders --- drawing prize will be an Apple Watch
800 school orders --- drawing prize will be an iPad
Please consider contacting friends, relatives and businesses, asking them to order a new magazine or renew current magazine subscriptions at current publisher prices. Orders may be placed with the order forms from your child's magazine packet (no payment is required at this time), or you may place your order via the internet. Go to
www.apmags.com
and use DOVERINT as our school code. Any way you choose to order, students will receive credit towards prizes.
Thank you for your continued support of this fundraiser. Contact Lori Negron with any questions 216-312-5070

DISC Invites You to Take the Box Tops Challenge
Help us help DIS by taking the Box Tops Challenge! Each Box Top is worth 10 cents.
Our goal is to collect 10,000 Box Tops for DIS this year. Students who complete the challenge will be entered to win a grand prize (value dependent on the number of students who participate). The student who collects the most Box Tops will receive a certificate and prize that's equivalent in value to the grand prize.
Are you ready?!
1. Look in your pantry/cabinets for Box Tops. Clip them.
2. Check out
this list
and purchase the products you like. Clip the Box Tops.
3. Fill in
this sheet
with Box Tops. Print more sheets if necessary. Each sheet = one entry toward winning the grand prize!
4. Turn your sheets in to the Main Office by Friday, October 27.
5. Invite your DIS friends to take the challenge. The more participants we get, the bigger the grand prize!
Winners will be announced in early November.
Thanks for your support!
