Teacher Appreciation Week Chair Needed

The PFC is currently looking for a chair for its upcoming Teacher Appreciation Week. This year it is being held in May. This is not only a fun role, but much appreciated by each Teacher at Donlon. It requires someone with a bit of creativity and willingness to ensure that each teacher knows how much they are appreciated during the week.  

The PFC typically does something small each day and then wraps up the week with a nice luncheon.   The PFC already has a few parents who are willing to help, so you will not be on your own.

EarthDay

Student Leadership Meeting

The Student Leadership Meeting for January will take place on Thursday January 24th after school until 3:40 PM.  All elected officials please meet in room C-15.

Flag Salute

 

The January Flag Salute will take place on Friday January 25th at 10:55 AM.  This month's theme will be sport's day, so wear your favorite sports team jersey or apparel.

Black Dragon Chess

Underlying its proven social and cognitive benefits, Chess is fun! Join us for the upcoming Winter session starting on January 25th, as we continue our journey into this fascinating game! The class will include individual and group instruction, as well as supervised play amongst the students. All ability levels are welcome, even if you've never played before. Previous students are also encouraged to continue. All materials provided. End of session prizes given.  Flyer attached.

Looking for a fun way to be involved in the PFC? What about selling ICE CREAM?

The kids line up to see you every Wednesday afternoon after school! You get to meet nice people at the Dairy when you pick up the ice cream! You get to change up what we sell!!

Alas, this is my last year at Donlon and it's time to pass on the torch!  Please contact me at mirmbett@pacbell.net and we can talk details.  If someone doesn't step up, this fun event that brings many smiles and messy faces to Donlon will no longer happen!
