Finish out the school year with Box Tops!
Do you realize that we could raise $1,250 for our school if each student brought in just 5 Box Top coupons each week for the last five weeks of school? Let’s give it a try! Starting next week, please deposit your coupons in the Box Tops container in the school lobby. Our progress toward the goal will be posted in the MP room and the PTA’s blog, http://dpmpta.blogspot.com/.
National Teacher Appreciation Week is almost here!
May 4th through May 8th, 2009. Take time during this week to do something nice for your child's teacher each day. Our annual DPM- PTA Teacher Appreciation Lunch is scheduled for Monday May 4th. Please contact Laurie Clay at 916-607-1507 or e-mail to dangsmom@sbcglobal.net if you are interested in helping out.
We could use help with any of the following:
· Decorations
· Food or Drinks
· Paper goods
· Setup, serving, or clean up

*DPM Fundraiser Car Wash*
Good news! In our first week of sales, DPM sold over 30 cards raising $300 so far! Imagine if we could do that every week until the end of May; we could raise another $1500!! New log sheets will be handed out with Friday’s newsletter; so please continue to sell cards for Pavilion’s Car Care Center . Remember to turn in $ to your teachers or the office. If you need more sales logs, please ask your teacher or see Kim in the office. Want to volunteer with the sales at school events? Contact Kristin at kristing@surewest.net .

We need volunteers to help run the car wash fundraiser!
Kristin Goble has been so great to set up this fabulous new fundraiser! As you may already know PTA will be selling car wash cards for $20 each. The value of the card is over $35.00, and PTA gets $10 for every card sold! So, as you can see, we are very excited to sell as many cards as possible! We have decided to sell these cards through the newsletter at the school, as well as setting up a table to sell cards at our various upcoming events.
What we need from YOU is to tell all of your family and friends about this fabulous opportunity to help support the school! Keep in mind that these gift cards will make great Father's Day, Mother's Day or graduation gifts! If you would like to order carwash cards, you can email Kristin directly at kristing@surewest.net OR you can stop by the school during the following times:
4/30 Spring Sing, 5:30pm-7:30pm, 2 volunteers (we have 1 volunteer, need 1 more)
5/12 Community Input Forum, 5:30pm-7:30pm: 2 volunteers
5/19 State election poll, 7am-8pm: 4 volunteers, maybe 1½ -2 hr shifts & just do early AM until about 9am, lunchtime, and then 4pm-8pm to anticipate when most people would go to the poll. (We have 1 volunteer, and can still use several more.)
5/21 Open House, 5:30pm-8pm: 2 volunteers
5/26 Recital, 5:30pm-7:30pm: 2 volunteers
Would you like to volunteer to help sell these cards? We would LOVE to have you! The times and volunteer options are listed above. Please email Kristin (email address above) or dpmpta@hotmail.com. Remember, just an hour of your time here or there goes miles. We appreciate and welcome any time you can commit! Thank you!!
