We need LOTS of help transforming our beautiful school for the Daddy Daughter Masquerade Ball.  In addition we will need help cleaning it up!  Please CLICK HERE or at right to sign up for a time that works best for you.  Pizza and soda will be provided on Friday night and a light breakfast for the Saturday morning volunteers.

 

CLICK, EAT, GO!  NEW LUNCH ALTERNATIVE

Lunches are prepared fresh daily and can be customized based on your child's preferences and dietary requirements. Students do not have to wait in line!  There is a separate station where lunches will be picked up.  Each sack is labeled with the student's name/ID number so they can quickly grab their lunch.

You can place multiple days orders at the same time.  Simply browse the menus with your child, select their lunch each day and pay with a credit card or your existing MySchoolBucks account.  (Lunches must be ordered one day in advance and cannot be ordered more than 7 days ahead.)

Option to place a personal note in the lunch sack!

Visit www.clickeatgo.com for more information or to create an account.  

If you experience any problems placing your order, please contact Tamara McCarthy at 303-387-0381 between the hours of 7am-3pm or tamara.mccarthy@dcsdk12.org.

“THERE WITH CARE” FEBRUARY DONATION COLLECTION

Clean Hands, Warm Hearts is the theme of our February donation collection for “There With Care”.  We will be collecting:

Clorox Wipes

Hand Sanitizer

Paper Towels

Toilet Paper

Did you know children facing critical illnesses are immune compromised so they have to use paper towels, not hand towels?  Families have to disinfect their home and hospital room multiple times a day. These donation items are critical to the 182 families receiving help on a bi-monthly basis from “There With Care”.   

More information can be found at http://www.therewithcare.org/ under the volunteer tab or call 303-756-2273.  Thank you!
