Happy Sunday Denali Families!
The summer is winding down. Are you ready for your kids to get back to school? :) We are excited to see them! A couple of things to think about before we start on Thursday:
**Apply for free/reduced hot lunch and breakfast. Even if your child does not want hot lunches, please apply! The amount of students who qualify effect how much money we get for our Title I funds that we use for the whole school. This money helps pay for our tutors and supplies. APPLY HERE!
**School supply list! Check out the list below for your child's school supplies!
** Ice Cream Social: Tuesday, August 13th, from 5-6 p.m. Please come and meet your new teacher!

Community Help for our Kids
Dear Community Members,
We are reaching out to ask for your support in a critical initiative to help our students succeed.
Many children in our community struggle with meal debts, making it difficult for them to focus
and excel in their studies. Hunger can significantly impair a child's ability to learn, but together,
we can change this.
Your donations will help us provide nutritious meals to all students, ensuring they have the
energy and focus needed to succeed in school. Let's unite as a community to support our future
leaders.
How You Can Help:
Donate: Every dollar helps us clear meal debts and provide meals.
Spread the Word: Share this message with friends and family.
Together, we can make a significant impact. Thank you for your generosity and support.
Cash and check donations can be made in person with your school’s kitchen manager or
electronically at k12northstar.org/nutrition
