Faculty Foul Ups - the Scoop!
 
This Friday is the annual Faculty Foul Ups -- it's not too late for your kids to chip in a dollar to guess how many baskets the 60 participating teachers will make.

On Friday, there will be snacks and pizza slices for sale during the festivities, so please consider sending the kids in with a few extra bucks. 

Prizes to be awarded to the teacher making the most baskets, the student with the most accurate predictions, and more!

The event will be over in time for kids to make the late bus, BUT there's also a boys basketball game beginning at 4:30. All the kids are invited to stay for that and cheer on the Day Dragons!

Here's what's planned for the afternoon:

2:35     FACULTY SHOOTING
 
3:40     STUDENT SHOOTING, FOUL SHOTS
 
4:00     FACULTY/STUDENT SHOOTING, THREE POINT CONTEST
 
4:30     BOYS BASKETBALL GAME  - please stay and cheer on the Day team

Any questions? Ask Lisa Conti, Dana Davis, Beth Maloney, or Paul Friedberg.
Night of Comedy to Benefit
 Trevor Martinez-Tobin

Many of you know Trevor who is on the Azure team in 6th grade at Day. But you may not know that Judy Tobin, Trevor's legal Guardian and Grandmother, is currently in the hospital with a long and arduous recovery ahead of her.

This fundraiser is to benefit Trevor, as he will require help to secure his hopes of staying at Day Middle school for the remainder of the year, along with other necessities in order to ease his time of transition.

Invitations in the mail
for Day @ Night Dinner!

An intrepid crew helped get invitations in the mail to all Day parents -- because you are all invited to Day's 1st Annual Progressive Dinner (aka Day @ Night) on Saturday, March 6th.

The dinner will be on Saturday, March 6th (snow date Sunday, March 7th) with everyone gathering together at 6:30pm for appetizers and to get maps to their hosts' houses -- we'll meet back together for dessert and coffee after dinner.

If you're interested in hosting a dinner or need more information please contact Phyllis, Archana, or Susan
. (We truly could use another host or two for dinner!)

Do you have some time to help us wit the event? As the mailing crew found out, it was a lot of fun -- and quick work -- to do that task together. We'd be happy to include you in the next round! Just drop us a line.
