We are offering two pickup times/locations for students picking up their DC hoodies as well as shirts:
1. We will be opening the school from 3-5pm on Sunday, February 27th. Parents can arrive at the front of the school, park, and come into the front of the school for pickup locations. It should be relatively quick and we are diligently working to organize things as best as possible.
2. At the end of the day on Monday, February 28th we will have students report back to Homeroom and any shirts that were not picked up on Sunday will be given out on Monday at the end of the day. Please remember that shirts/hoodies are required on the trip so we want to ensure these are picked up prior to the trip.

THANK YOU!
8th Grade Dance
The PTSO would like to recognize some key volunteers that made the 8th grade Dance a huge success! We had 403 kids in attendance!
Kari Gras & Abby Savage were the event coordinators who planned the event from the start regarding budget, food, ticket sales, setup & tear down and volunteer generation!
Jackie Myers our Decoration coordinator for her vision of what Viva Las Vegas looks like and her amazing creativity to make the gaming tables, props and “look” of a fantastic night!
Laura Lutarewych for helping Jackie pull everything together on her Decorations Committee as a key volunteer for making it happen!
The Food & Beverage Committee Jennifer Odze, Lori Puri & Dawn Sinacori for securing food and beverages. The kids loved the food choices!
Sarah Estock for coordinating with the school, security detail, DJ and helping with planning, setup and tear down.
Thank you to our Corporate Sponsors:
We also want to thank all of our volunteers who helped with set-up, dance activities and tear down.
