From our PTA President
Tis the season of THANKS...
THANK YOU to ALL who donated for DIS Teacher Conference Meals. Great success and well received. The teachers loved it and were so appreciative. Nothing better than a full belly!
THANK YOU to ALL the volunteers who helped with Book Fair. I hope everyone had a
chance to stop in and get a book to read over Thanksgiving Break.
THANK YOU to ALL of our DIS STAFF & PTA members. We are grateful for all that you do, day in & day out, in front of and behind the scenes, to be sure that our students succeed!
On behalf of DIS PTA, I would like to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy the break with your families and take some time to slow down, sit around the table and count our many blessings.
All the best,
Diane
