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.

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.
