Thanks to all of our families who shopped at the Book Fair. This money goes directly to the school's library! We raised $7,000.00! The school will keep about 3,000.00. Again, thank you for supporting our school library.

Due to budget cuts this year, DPS no longer allows schools to pay for meals for staff. McMeen families donated two nights of food and monetary donations to ensure that our teachers and staff had amazing dinners during conferences! A huge SHOUT OUT to Grillin' Wings & Things for donating wings, chicken tenders, salad, and dessert! They are local business owned by a McMeen family!
