It’s been a busy week at Discovery Charter School!
Our enchanted forest book fair is going on until Thursday at 5pm. All money raised from the book fair will go towards much needed shelving in our expanding library!
We had 2 other big events this week! Grandparents Day and our Family Fun Night. The PTA can’t do events without volunteer help and the Book Fair and Family Fun night require lots of help. Big thank you to the volunteers who helped put on these events. We couldn’t do what we do with you!
I hope I’m not missing anyone but if I am please know I appreciate ALL the help!!!
I try to make notes right after events for things that went well or things we could do better for next time. If you have any feedback (good or bad) please email dcspta@dcspta.com. We always like to fine tune our events!
Good Morning!!!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in our first DCS Dining night at Dairy Queen. We raised $230 which is $80 more than our 2016 Dairy Queen night. Our next DCS Dining night is October 9th at Qdoba in West St. Paul. No flyer is needed just dine at Qdoba between 4 and 8pm.
Our Yankee Candle fundraiser is underway. This is a big fundraiser that goes to pay for our family fun nights, assemblies, STEM night etc. This year we are also allowing families who do NOT want to sell to do a direct donation. Simply return the donation in the yankee candle envelope. These direct donations will count towards the incentive prize. The incentive prize is a LIMO ride during school with a pizza buffet lunch at Old World. The top 10 students that raise the most money will win. Sales go until October 9th.
Take some time to vote for DCS to win a $1000 Grant from Old National. It take a second and all you need is an email address. You can use all your email addresses because it seems we all have multiple these days! Voting ends Sunday and you can vote every day!!! Click here to vote
Our next PTA meeting is 10/2 at 6:30pm. We had an amazing turnout for our first meeting and I’m hoping for an even better turnout at our second.
Remember to keep clipping those box tops and Tyson UPCs. We are also accepting dimes for those families that would like to participate but do not buy box top products. There are 3 monthly winners who will win a small prize. The top 3 classes that collect the most by the end of May will win an ice cream party sponsored by Peterson’s Popcorn.
