- Yes, it is that time of year again. The Dewey JOG-WALK-RUN-A-THON! This fundraising event is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 18th during our regular school hours. Here’s the schedule:
8:55-9:35 McCulloch, Gallington, Early Kindergarten

- Proceeds from this event will support our school. (We earned a whopping $8,858 from last year’s event! Your support enabled Dewey to purchase t-shirts for our student government, a sound system with 2-wireless microphones for our MP room, field trip scholarships for our 5th and 6th graders and River Cats game attendees, an exciting BMX assembly, PE equipment, and resources for our Maker Space and 6th grade Promotion ceremony. Thank you!) The Jog-a-thon will include walking, jogging, or running laps within a forty-minute time period (one lap will equal approximately one-quarter mile). We are inviting all family members to join us on the day of the Jog-a-thon to run with their child’s class and/or help with management. Students are encouraged to ask family and friends to pledge a specific amount to help make this event a success.

It’s back! This year, half of the school will come weekly for the first half of the year, then the other half of the school will come weekly the 2nd half of the year. Don’t worry if your child doesn’t start next week- everyone will have equal opportunity to DESIGN, BUILD, and CREATE in the Maker Lab.
The Maker Lab runs on your donations. There is a box for all donations in the office hallway. All cardboard tubes, craft supplies, duct tape, etc. are appreciated. Don’t keep google eyes around your house, but you still want to give? There is an Amazon Wish List: Dewey Maker Lab Wish List
Right now, the Maker Lab is needing your Hex Bugs that are no longer being played with. Give the bugs a second life, give them to the Maker Lab.
