Pennies for Patients
Thank you to everyone for their generous donations. We reached our third and final goal, raising a grand total of $7,287.20. This surpassed all prior campaigns by over $800. The generosity of our students, staff and their families is truly inspiring. The recent drive was DIS’s 12th campaign and the grand total raised over the years now exceeds $50,000. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
Book Fair
Did you know that the proceeds from the book fair support our school? In the past two years, we have been able to purchase new chairs for the library, new DVD’s, books, and reading carpets for the classrooms. The hard work of all of the volunteers and the PTA on behalf of our students greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone who supported the book fair.
PTA Info
The PTA will be sponsoring a FREE Skate Night on March 12th from 6:30-8:30 nat the Holiday Skate Center at 1775 Creek Road in Delanco. Admission is free and rentals are available for only $3. Parents must stay to supervise their students.
The PTA is proud to present the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to Hershey Park. These tickets may be used on any regular operating day during the 2015 season. Enjoy savings of almost 40% off regular gate admission as well as free admission to both ZooAmerica (when entered from Hershey Park) and Hershey’s Chocolate World (with a hand stamp from Hershey Park). A flyer about ordering discounted tickets was sent home with your student and is located on the virtual backpack. Orders are being accepted until March 16th.
