​Orders due this coming Friday, October 16th. 

As soon as you're finished with that cup of coffee, grab the kiddos, a shovel and some work gloves and head over to Dundee.  Let the kiddos all run and play on the playground while you meet and chat with fellow Dundee parents -- all whlie making the flower beds glow with the glory of fall.

It starts at 10am, and the forcast is calling for 55 degrees.  Perfect fall gardening weather!

​See you there!

I went to Target this morning to grab ‘one thing.’  (Is there such a thing as ‘1 thing’ at Target?)  Needless to say, I walked out with more than a dollars' worth of dollar items.  I stocked up on all the things we need to keep the house running smoothly, and a few things I didn't really need.  I paid for everything with my Target Red Card and saved 5%.

Why am I telling you this?  It's because Target has a program called TAKE CHARGE OF EDUCATION,  and donates 1% of my purchases towards DUNDEE!  Image donating 1% of the amount you spend at Target to Dundee every time you shop at Target. I mean really, this is a no brainer!  I save money AND donate to Dundee every time I shop at Target, which I was already doing anyway.  

But 1% isn't much, and it won't make a worthwhile difference to Dundee, right?  WRONG!  The most recent Target donation to Dundee was $685.00!  Dundee got $685 from Target, without a parent doing anything out of the ordinary.   It may not be much on any one single trip, but collectively, it adds up!  

The money I save with my Red Card I donate to Dundee Direct.  I’m feeling good!  I think I’ll treat myself with a little shopping trip to Target!

​For more information about Target’s Red Card and to choose Dundee Elementary for your purchases, visit Target’s Take Charge of Education webpage.  

Hurry, because the Take Charge of Education program will end in May, 2016.

Wednesday, October 7th is National Walk to School Day!

Dundee will be celebrating the day with breakfast stations (consisting of doughnuts, fruit, coffee, milk and juice) set up on the north and south sides of the building before school

We welcome you to join the fun!  Snap a few pics of you walking with your kiddo and share them with the Dispatch and yearbook!

Traditional paper order forms will be going home this week, but if you just can't wait, you can also order online at www.DundeePTO.org/store.

If you are ordering online, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR CHILD'S NAME AND TEACHER in the notes to seller.  This makes it IMMENSELY easier for delivering the items to you!

The deadline is coming up quickly on Friday, Oct. 16, so don't delay!

Pick that outfit and brush those pearly whites!  It's picture day tomorrow!

​If you need an order form, contact your student's teacher.
