Scholastic Book Fair Update
Thank you so much for your support at our Scholastic Book Fair! We had an extremely successful fair, selling over $5,000 worth of items (we'll have over $2,900 of that come back to the library and literacy specialists). We also were able to put nearly $300 in classrooms thanks to classroom wish list donations, and we raised nearly $70 for Adopt-a-Family. Our parent and student volunteers were also amazingly helpful. They did everything from providing snacks for the teachers to creating decorations for the fair to setting up, staffing and packing up the fair. We are so grateful for your support and generosity!

Ticket to Ride? 
Did you know that the RTD light rail stops two blocks from DA (on Bellaire and Evans)? Are you tired of getting stuck in traffic on the highway? If you would like to know if the light rail might be a feasible option for your family check the
RTD website.
There are discount tickets available at King Soopers, and if an adult rides with a child with a special need (ADHD, dyslexia, etc.) the adult can ride for free. If you have further questions please contact Sarah Kreider, mother of 6th grader Diego Quezada.Teacher Wish Lists 
Our recent book fair allowed teachers to receive classroom library wish list items, but some teachers still have remaining wish list items. If you'd like to gift items to a teacher, go here to see current lists. If your child's teacher isn't listed, please contact Jolene Gutierrez and she'll touch base with the teacher. Please also inform Jolene of items purchased so she can keep the list updated.
