Dear Families,

District Updates

AMAZING EVENTS!
We have three AMAZING events coming up--please mark your calendars!


Saturday, October 5--D114 Wellness Fair @ Stanton 8:45-11:30 AM
Please come join us for a morning of wellness! We’ll have classes happening, vendors on site, and
opportunities to learn about self-care. ALL ARE WELCOME, and there will be activities for children
and adults! Admission is FREE!



Saturday, November 2--Celebration of the Arts @ Lotus 10:00AM-2:00PM
Thanks to the Robert D. Sayles Foundation, we will celebrate the arts in D114! Join us for student
performances, see work on display, and do hands on tasks. We’re thrilled to celebrate our ART,
MUSIC, SPANISH, and STEM programs. ALL ARE WELCOME, and food will be available to
purchase. Admission is FREE!



And...on September 27, we'll celebrate...

Day of Service--Where do the donations go?
As you know, this is D114's fifth year of celebrating the Day of Service. This is our one and only District fundraiser of the year. Where do the funds raised go?

  • To fund all PTA activities and events. 
  • To provide teacher grants for special projects. 
  • To provide teacher teams with supplies and materials when they make proposals. 
  • To fund specific school projects like the Lotus climbing wall and the NEW Stanton sign---which is slated to be installed NEXT WEEK!
This year's Day of Service dollars will, of course, fund our awesome PTA's efforts, but will also pay for materials and expanded programming for Lotus' STEM classes and Stanton's Exploratory (Art, Music, Spanish, STEM) classes. Every single dollar makes a difference, and we have a foundation who had promised to match our funding! 

We truly appreciate all our community donors and especially the hard work our students and families put in to make this effort happen. WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL!

If you or anyone you know would like to donate online, all you have to do is follow this link!

ALL DAY OF SERVICE PLEDGES ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20!
