Summer FUN!
We are in the final week of the 2011-2012 school year. It is always a bittersweet time here at DCM as we say goodbye to the school year and look forward to our Summer Break and DCM Summer Camp. The last day of classes at DCM is Friday, May 25th. Our Daycare will close at 2:30pm that day.
Don’t forget about Summer Camp… we have many fun adventures in store for all participants. Whether your child is a day camper or a signs up for the entire week…they are guaranteed to enjoy their time at the DCM Jr. High Farm School. Download: 2012-Summer Camp Application

All Call for Recycling!
All call for plastic newspaper bags. Rather than placing the bags which contain your Early Bird or Advocate in the trash…please pass them along to the Toddler Room to use for diaper disposal. They are the perfect size for this task and a great way to recycle! You are welcome to pass along your bags during drop-off or pick up times at our Central location. Happy Recycling!

Now it’s easier than ever to find the perfect books for your child—shop our NEW online Book Clubs Web site. Choose from a much-wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card to pay.

- SEND your order to me online by the due date and your child’s books will be delivered directly to my classroom.
Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure. Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer…but why not see for yourself how convenient it is to order online?
