Dear DuVall Families,
Our PTA will be voting at their next meeting to approve the cost of a camera on our playground. The cost of the camera is $1,851.00. I appreciate all of the parents that offered to donate towards the camera after our playground was vandalized with graffiti. The PTA is always accepting donations. Our students are also seeking donations for the GaGa Ball Pit that they have been saving for since last year. If you own a business, all donations are deductible. We can provide a letter for tax purposes. Our student Ambassadors will be deciding the best fundraisers to reach their goal for their Gaga Ball Pit.
Thank you Ms. Dembrosky, Mrs. Kuehn, Mrs. Nelson, and Mrs. Noles for everything you did and will do this week with Book Bingo and the Book Fair. Thank you to any of the parents helping out that I missed as well. We could not have events such as these without parent help. If every parent can volunteer 1-2 hours just once this year it would help tremendously. Anything you can do is appreciated. Our students enjoy these events and need them to complete their school experience.
This week’s notes:
