Celebrate the Decades at Discovery's Spring Dance

The Decades Dance is finally here. Come dance the night away from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday with other Discovery families. Officer York will be spinning tunes from all the decades, and students and staff can win prizes for the best costumes.

Food will be available for purchase in the cafeteria. Get a hot dog (courtesy of RC Willey), chips, and a soda or water for $4, or stop by our candy bar. The Arial family also will be selling multiple flavors of cotton candy.

We are still looking for volunteers to help out with two shifts. If you can help out during one of the shifts, please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0b4da5a72aaafe3-decades.

While the dance is free to attend, it is the PTA's major fundraiser of the school year. We will be raffling off a giant stuffed sloth that was donated by Principal McDonough. Raffle tickets will be $1 a piece.

We also will have a silent auction that will close at 7:45 p.m. and have some great baskets to share. This we couldn't have done without the support of our community (and from some far away).

A big thank you to our local supporters:


And a shout out to those afar:
