Annual Used Book Sale Feb 6-7
Students will be shopping with their classes on Thursday, so please send your kids with a few dollars to purchase some books. This is a great way to get inexpensive books and to clean your bookshelves of books you no longer want.
The Used Book Sale will be open to parents, family, and friends on Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the MPR
Donate your books and sign up to help out!
The FTO is now collecting used book donations. Donations may be dropped off in the collection box in the breezeway or in the MPR.
If you are cleaning out your books, we would love to have them. We accept books for all ages, homeschool materials, games, puzzles, math manipulatives, and NEW this year - gently used DWFS spirit wear!
We also need volunteers to help with the Used Book Sale! Volunteers get to purchase books before anyone else after helping.
Sign up above to help sort or sell books.
Crossing Guards
Having crossing guards has significantly increased the safety for our students at pick-up and drop-off times. Please consider signing up to be one of our crossing guards this 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.
FTO Volunteer Shoutouts
Our Crossing Guards for keeping us safe!
Crossing guards: Desouri Barka, Christina Stick, Brooke Neely, Charlie Brunt, Yui Norii, Tiffany Medford, Frank Borja, Carrie Irvin
