TAG/DKAP:
Purdys Fundraiser – Our annual Purdys fundraiser will run until November 15, 2022. Orders should arrive at the school on or about December 1, 2022. We are only able to accept online orders this year. If you are interested in supporting DKMS through our Purdys Fundraiser please visit: https://fundraising.purdys.com/773778-96083. We have prizes for the students / classes that sell. In order to give a student / class credit, when you fill out the online order form, type the first and last name of the student as well as their TAG teacher or number into the additional information box. If you have any questions, please contact Barb at the office.
School Clothing Orders – If you’re interested in ordering school clothing for your child (or anybody really) please visit this link: https://dkmsfall2022.itemorder.com/shop/home/. Orders must be placed by October 20, 2022, and should arrive in time for the winter break.
Strength First Food Drive – Our Strength First program is collecting non-perishable food donations on behalf of the Salvation Army from October 11 – 14. They will be circulating to TAGs each morning this week to collect any donations that have been brought in.
Walk for Wenjack Week – The week of October 17, 2022, will be Walk for Wenjack week. Each house has been given a dedicated day of the week and on that day those TAGs will go out to the running track to complete 1 km per student. The goal is to reach the 600 km that Chanie Wenjack aimed to walk as a school community.
Anything but a Backpack Day – October 20, 2022. Students are encouraged to get creative and come up with an alternative to using a backpack on this day in exchange for some house points. Whatever students choose to bring must be able to fit in a locker.
Halloween – October 31, 2022. The full details on Halloween are still being finalized by the Kearney Crew. That being said, it is safe to assume that wearing costumes on Halloween will earn some house points!
