Mark Your Calendars:

• School will be closed the week of March 25^th for Spring Break.
• Outward Bound Fundraiser will be held on Sunday, March 24 at Applebee’s (8601 Henry Avenue ~ Andorra Shopping Center).
  
  • Outward Bound is a five day excursion along the Appalachian Trail. This program is an outdoor experience that challenges each student to be a leader, an individual, and an innovator.  It will enhance each student's endurance as an individual and enrich their ability to work as a member of a team.  Students from grades 7 and 8 submit  essays on what they would get out of the program along with teacher recommendations. Ten students will be chosen to attend.  In order for these ten students to attend they must fundraise $1,500. We’ve set up an Applebee's Fundraiser on March 24th from 8am-10am. Tickets are $7 each. 
   
  Fundraising Opportunities:
  
  
  Sign up your "shopper card" at Campbell’s labels. Here's how to do it:  Go to:  http://www.elabelsforeducation.com/Sites/Campbells_eLabels/Page/HomePage
  
  
  Create your profile, choose your participating retailer (they are listed), enter your shopper card number and then select JAMES DOBSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to support.  It only takes one minute to register your card. After you register, you do nothing but shop for participating products. Points will be added electronically to Dobson's account. As an added bonus, continue to clip the labels and send them into school. We will earn more points.
  
  
  Also, continue to send in Box Tops. We collect these all year round. Visit Boxtops4education.comfor more ways to earn for Dobson.
