If your child’s grandparent has not mailed in their Bible verse, the deadline has been extended until Friday, April 22. If a grandparent is unable to participate, parents may participate in their place. Cards for this fundraising effort are available in the Middle and Lower School Offices for a suggested donation of $10 each. For more information contact Joanne Heiser at 678-5111.

Parents…please sign up for a 30-minute shift to help your child’s grade level cover assistance at games and events for the SPR PR PRIN IN ING G FLIN FLING. G. Each Lower School Room parent has posted a sign-up sheet in a designated area of your grade level. Thank you in advance for helping to make this event a success!

Question. What was the longest line at last year’s Spring Fling games? Answer. The 2-liter soda bottle ring-toss game! To make this game the success that it was last year, we need donations of 2-liter bottles of soda from all who are willing to donate. Please send one 2-liter bottle of soda per child to your classroom teacher by Thursday, April 21.

Many thanks to all of the Spring Fling volunteers! This event would not happen without you! If you’d still like to help, we’ll find a place for you! Call Mary Stokes at 467-9705 or 380-5633 or email to dbsgcs@aol.com
