Landscape Day

Date changed to Fri, March 28th

This is our semi-annual Landscape Day, where the parents of DWFS work together on groundskeeping projects around the school.

We need parent volunteers to do some grounds maintenance, including helping to prune bushes, pull weeds, spread mulch and more!

Additionally, we will need parent volunteers to monitor the younger students as they come out to help with Landscape Day.

No need to sign up – just go to the east courtyard after drop-off

Volunteer to help with the Spring Carnival & Silent Auction

Calling All Volunteers to help plan the Carnival and Silent Auction!

It takes the whole community to put on the Carnival and Silent Auction event. Please consider donating an item to the silent auction and/or volunteering to help plan the event!

Crossing Guards

Having crossing guards has significantly increased the safety for our students at pick-up and drop-off times.

We need volunteers for Thursday mornings through the remainder of the year!

In order to spread this huge responsibility around to our entire community, the FTO is asking you to consider signing up to be a crossing guard for ONE DAY A WEEK, for ONE TIME SLOT (either AM or PM) for ONE MONTH (or more!) at a time.

For example, Wednesday AM - January means crossing guard duty every Wednesday morning for the month of January. That's only four days for 15 minutes each day, so just one hour of your time.

Yearbook Photos Needed!

If you've gotten great photos of our community this year, please sent them to dwfsyearbook@gmail.com so they can be included in our DWFS yearbook!

DWFS School Sponsors

We are so thankful for the support of our local communities and businesses who graciously donate funds to provide valuable opportunities for our students. We hope you will consider joining us as a sponsor of DWFS!
