DOLPHIN DISPATCH

As we usher in the months of November and December, we bring in a time filled with lots of holiday activities and events. In the midst of these activities, we must be mindful of our academic focus at Dauphin Island Elementary School. Please keep our students in the frame of mind for academic success during this busy Holiday Season.

Just a reminder, my door is always open. If you ever have a question or concern, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. My email is swilcox@mcpss.com or call at (251) 861-3864. I appreciate all that you do for our school and I want to make your child's academic experience great!

Respectfully,

Stacey A. Wilcox

Dauphin Island Elementary School Calendar Fundraiser 2022

All the Details!

We had a lot of success with our fundraiser last year! We were able to have several on campus activities including the Exploreum Science Lab and Spring Fling with Foam the Coast because of the tremendous support of our school families. Thank you for always supporting our school!

● Each student will ask family and friends to pick a day on the calendar. The $ amount donated corresponds to the day. Example: Day 1 is $1

● Each $1 donated is an entry for the donor into a school wide drawing for several donated prizes from various businesses!

● Students will earn prizes based on the number of days they have collected donations. There are 5 prize levels.

● The fundraiser will run from November 1-November 30.

● All money and Donor sheets should be turned in by Friday, December 1st. No money or forms will be accepted after that date.

● The school wide drawing for donors will be December 9. Items won by donors will be sent home with students who collected the donation to deliver.

● Student prize packs and Dolphin Dollars Redemption will occur by December 16th.

This year we are introducing a Dolphin Store for “Dolphin Dollars'' redemption! Your student will earn a certain amount of “Dolphin Dollars” at each prize level.
