FOSTERING LOVE PROJECT

This season, we’re partnering with the Fostering Love Project to support their Holiday Help for Washington County initiative. Each year, they gather Holiday Wishlists from social workers to provide gifts for children in foster care or recently reunited with family members who may be unable to provide gifts on their own.

We are collecting $25- Gift Cards to help meet these needs!

Suggested Gift Cards include:

Gas (Kwik Trip, Holiday, etc)

Grocery (Cub, Target, Walmart etc.) 

Clothing (JCPenny, Kohl's, Target, Walmart etc.) 

Home Goods (Target, Walmart, Kohls etc) 

But hurry! Donation Deadline is Tuesday, December 9th 

Every contribution goes directly toward helping create a holiday miracle for a child or family in Washington County. Thank you for helping make the season brighter for those who need it most. ❤️

BAND App

At WDC we use the BAND app to help connect instructors with dancers/parents and also to keep parents updated throughout the season. Newsletters and important updates will be posted in the Darby's Dancers BAND app group. See the link below. Later in the season, instructors will post recital music and videos as the dancers prepare for our annual recital.

Use QR code or link HERE to join the BAND app group for WDC Darby's Dancers.

*We are using the same BAND group as last year for our Darby's Dancers classes so some of you may already have joined in the past and do not need to join again.
