Dowell Singers: Singathon Update

Singathon is next Friday, Sept. 28th from 2:30-6:30pm.  All students need a permission slip to attend.  If you have lost the form, a handwritten note will suffice.  Students are expected to participate; fundraising is optional.  This is a great experience for students and parents!  Please plan to drop by to help, or observe the festivities.  Students will be served a snack, and dinner.  Please make sure 4th graders send in a bag of plain chips, and 5th graders 2 liter sodas for our food supplies no later than Wednesday of this week.   I want to say a big thank you to our Dowell Partners in Ed who are helping us!  Sun Valley Beach is donating hot dogs and buns, and Dr. Debby Porter, or the Porter Family Clinic is donating cookies.  Publix, courtesy of Mr. Chip Broderson, is donating our condiments.  If you have a chance, please thank these folks for their help.  Pledge forms and donations can be turned in starting Friday, or anytime up until Oct. 6th.   A copy of the singathon pledge form can be downloaded.   Basically, asking friends and relatives to sponsor your child in the singathon, and giving a donation, either per hour, or total amount.  Sponsors can donate ahead of time, or wait until after the event.   Thanks so much for helping us make this a great event for our children!  Parent support is critical for success! 

We are also going to offer as a fundraiser Stevie B coupons for sale.  Coupons for a free pizza buffett will be available for purchase for $1 each.  Now, for our family of 5, all of us eating out for just $5 makes me think it is back in 1970!  Coupons will be available  for purchase at the singathon.  Thank you to our partne,  Stevie B's and Kathe  Schellman, for setting this up for us.
