We have a Duty Free Lunch coming up on Dec. 11th & could use a few volunteers. Sign up here!

I made a scheduling mistake. :/ The next Ultimate Fun Friday will be held on Friday, Dec. 13. Please check out the SUG on the Volunteer page to help out.

The School Store could use your help in the Holiday Shop!

Thanks to the Santa’s Elves that volunteered in the Student Store to setting up the 2019 Holiday Store, it is ready for our students on Monday, December 2nd, when they return to school.

We are expecting a large turnout of students and we want to make sure they have an awesome shopping experience. To help this we are asking for 5 daily volunteers & allowing only 10 students access at a time & 5 minutes to make their purchase/s … this limitation will also help volunteers answer an questions as well as keeping a watchful eye on the merchandise.

Understanding this is a crazy busy time of year any day you can spare to volunteer would be greatly appreciated. Many opportunities are still available and please use the Sign Up Genius so we can ensure daily coverage.

Thank you all for what you do !

There will be a Jr Bucs Track & Field Informational Meeting Monday December 16^th at 6:30pm in AHS Media Center.  Jr Bucs Track & Field is open to all boys & girls 5^th-8^th grades.

Reality U will be rolling around again Wednesday, Dec. 18th! If you haven’t been a part of Reality U before, it’s a VERY cool program that our counselor hosts for our 8th graders. It’s an incredible activity for 8th graders to learn financial literacy & the correlation between fiscal well-being & academic achievement.  It’s a fun learning experience for the kids & a lot of fun for the volunteers too.

I know the holiday schedule fills up fast, so I went ahead & set up the Sign Ups. You don’t have to be an 8th grade parent to help out. Join us if you can! 🙂

After we lost Remind earlier this year as a quick source of passing on info, we hemmed & hawed about how to fill the gap. We try to provide as many info sources as possible to keep Durham Wildcats up to date:

• DMS PTSA website
• Weekly eBlasts
• DMS PTSA Facebook page

…& now…

• TWITTER!
