Good morning!
Spirit Week has started & both of us are donning silly glasses to get in the holiday spirit. Our goofy glasses are from Target & if you are a Target Red Card holder, you can help out DGS just by shopping! Target offers a wonderful program called “Take Charge of Education” in which Target will donate 1% of the money you spend shopping there to the school of your choice. This is a great way for you to help DGS without really having to do anything beyond what you already do.
If you spend $100/month at Target ($1200/year) that means $12 will be given to DGS. This may not seem like all that much at first, but if 30 people designate DGS as their school, that is a $360 donation. If we get 50 people, then it’s $600. In 2014, Mrs. Weiss accumulated over $50 with her Red Card through the Take Charge of Education program (“Don’t do the math! Don’t judge me! I really like Target, and I had to furnish my new house…”). So far, there are 28 Red Card holders whose contributions go to DGS, and as of August 2014 our school has received $7035.91 through this program. This enables us to do so many great things with your kiddos, from everyday supplies to special activities. If you have a Red Card and haven’t designated a school for the TCOE program yet, you can follow the link at the bottom for more information and instructions.
