DBFE’s ‘Reading Oasis’ Book Fair

The first Scholastic book fair of the school year was a great success! Here are a few photos of the media center, after its transformation into a Reading Oasis.

Many thanks to Ms. Avetrani, Ms. Calenzani, and all the other staff members and parent volunteers who helped throughout the week of the book fair. Without them, this event would not have been possible! 😀

Join the PTA Today!

CALLING ALL PARENTS!

Joining PTA supports your child and his or her school.  The $6 fee includes membership in the local, state, and national PTA.

DBFE asks every parent to join PTA — This does not obligate you in any way to give time to our school; however, your time is always needed and appreciated.  Anyone is able to become a member so we welcome aunts, uncles, grandparents, and neighbors to join, as well.

Again, the membership is just $6 and it helps us begin to provide a number of things for our students and teachers throughout the school year.  Membership is important in building a strong PTA.

If you have not become a member, please do so by October 3.  All classes who reach 100% will win a special activity.

For more information on joining the PTA, please see Ms. Gamundi, speak with your child’s teacher, or visit the main office.
