Here Are The Haps

   HOLIDAY STORE NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
 We will be having a Holiday store at the school for the kids to be able to choose and purchase gifts for their
family and friends. The days are Dec. 14th thru 17th. The teachers have all chosen a time for
the kids to be able to go during the school day. We are in need of volunteers to make this a
success for the kids. A volunteer form was sent home if you could fill it out and send it back
to school that would be great, OR EMAIL US. We will also have the store open Tuesday Dec. 15th from 5 -7.
This is the same night as the 4th and 5th grade Nutcracker performance and PJ night in the
library. If you can help this night please email me with your contact information.
Thank you for making this event a success for the DFT Kids.



To be a school mentor, PTA volunteer, or WATCH Dog, you MUST complete the district's background check. Instructions are given and are simple to follow: Volunteer Registration. This is not a school level volunteer list.

CHECK HERE FOR RECALLED TOYS
The holidays are drawing near, and families are beginning their gift shopping. Here are some links detailing the latest information on recalled and hazardous toys. Remember that just because a toy is pulled from retail store shelves, it may still show up at garage or consignment sales/stores or thrift shops.
