Thanks to the PTO for Friday Night Fever

Friday Night Fever was an overwhelming success!! Over 700 people turned out for our retro flashback. The decorations, the dancing, the food, the games, and the COSTUMES were all OVER THE TOP. And the Disco Durham Dancing Dollies.... there are no words. Just WOW. Tammy Kane, Angela Meek, Julie Varriale and their amazing committee definitely raised the bar on the 3rd Annual Fall Festival at DES. Thanks also to Kelly Partyka, our VP of Fundraising, for all her help.

THANK YOU all for being a part of this wonderful night. Together we raised over $13,000 for our school, our kids, our teachers, and our campus.

Congratulations to the Loaiza family
for placing the highest bid for Georgia O'Cafe. We are very excited that Georgia will remain at Durham Elementary, where she is an important reminder of how special Durham Elementary School is to the Durham community.

Important Cafeteria Information:
It is against school board policy to allow students to charge lunches.
If a student does not have lunch money or funds in their lunch account,
their lunch tray will be pulled and they will be given an alternative lunch (cheese sandwich and small carton of milk).

You may log into the CISD Child Nutrition Services website and click on the Lunch Money Now link. There is no charge for a  parent to look at a student's  balance, set up low-balance email account , or view recent purchases. There is only a charge if you  use a credit card to apply money to the account.

Congratulations to Polly Allen!!!


 
Polly Allen is the Teacher of the Year for DES. We are fortunate to have incredible teachers on staff that are admired by all. You are an inspiration to us all!


Please admire the new landscaping completed through our partnership with Terra/Hat Creek, the developers of the Shady Oaks neighborhood across the street from Durham. Next summer work will be completed in the back of the property. We are very appreciative of their generosity and continued commitment to a partnership with the DES and DIS PTOs.

Texas Monthly, December 2007
