DOG RIVER PUBLIC LIBRARY R.E.A.D. PROGRAM
The third Thursday of each month, Colbear will be visiting the Dog River Library. Colbear is a trained therapy dog with the Caring Paws organization. He and his handler Susie come to listen to children ages 6-12 read. It is a wonderful way to encourage and reward readers. Come by the Dog River Public Library and ask for Ms. Duffie. She will help you sign up for a date and time. Parents do need to sign a permission form. If you have any questions, please call Ms. Duffie at 770-577-5186.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO KICK HUNGER IN OUR COMMUNITY!!
During the week of September 29th to October 3rd, the SDES PTO is sponsoring a school-wide food drive in order to restock our pantry for the Backpack Program. The class from each grade level collecting the MOST items will win a Popsicle treat from the PTO. Collection bins will be outside each classroom. In order to serve our families best, we ask that each grade level bring specific items:
Kindergarten - peanut butter and jelly in plastic jars
1st Grade - granola bars, cereal bars, peanut butter crackers
2nd Grade - single serving cereal boxes
3rd Grade - single serving boxed meals (pasta dinners, microwavable mac and cheese, etc.)
4th Grade - fruit cups, single serving applesauce, Jell-O, pudding
5th Grade - single serving boxed meals (pasta dinners, microwavable mac and cheese, etc.)
Please note: We collect canned goods all year round in the basket by the office. Suggestions for donations are canned fruits, canned pasta, hearty soups, boxed dinners (mac and cheese, etc.), canned beans, and canned vegetables.
