Dear Parents-
We have a Gratitude Attitude! With Thanksgiving around the corner, we work to be thankful for all that God has given us and to express this thankfulness through prayer and service. We will be hosting a Thanksgiving Food Drive as a part of our service. We ask each student to bring one non-perishable food item in to school before Mass next week on November 16th. Students will process into Mass on that day with their offering. All food will be donated to Saint Vincent DePaul after Mass. Thank you for helping us in this act of service.
We will celebrate Veteran’s Day tomorrow with a prayer service and class projects. Please take some time to talk about this important day with your children. We are grateful for the service of these brave men and women.
The snow and cold are on their way! Please remember that we play outside through all kinds of weather unless the temperature or windchill is below zero. It is chilly out there so please send your child with appropriate clothing. Coats, hats, and mittens are needed! After Thanksgiving Break (November 28th), snow gear will become mandatory as well. That means all students will need coats, hats, mitten, snow pants, and boots every day. Now is the time to buy and prepare. Thank you for your help with this.
You should all be receiving the ButterBraid order forms today. This fundraiser is done by our PTO. It helps them fund their initiatives each year. The letter attached to the order form explains their process and incentives. Please reach out to them with questions at

Please say an extra prayer for Ginger this week. She broke her wrist and needed surgery. She will be out until at least the 21st of November. If you would have directed a call or email to her, please re-direct it to the office or me. (dmcs-office@dmcs.cc or gashley@dmcs.cc) We are happy to help you!

PARENT SESSION
"Technology and Social Media”
November 16 at 7 p.m.
The use of social media and technology is one of the most popular areas of concern for parents of children and adolescents. How much is too much? How do we keep our kids safe online? What about the constant social comparisons? This session will focus on the latest research on use of social media and technology. It will also help us understand the relationship between brain development and what drives the need to feel connected online as well as those areas of big concern like pornography and algorithms that target adolescent vulnerabilities. Parenting tips will be offered.
