A Message From the President
I cannot believe we’re at the tail end of October already! What a fun (and busy) month it has been! This year’s Fall Festival was a huge success. Thank you to Sadie Calderon, the PFO and you, parents, for donating supplies, making scarecrows and helping organize such a fun event. I hope everyone’s families enjoyed the evening. Coming up on Friday, November 8, we will have a free movie night. There will be refreshments available for purchase to support the 6th Grade Field Trip to Westminster Woods.
As the holiday season approaches, we are excited to start planning our annual Santa’s Night. We are looking for a volunteer to lead the planning committee in organizing this fun event. If you are interested in chairing this event, please contact the PFO (pfoharrydewey@gmail.com) by Friday, November 1. Without a Chair, we will not be able to host this family favorite event.
As always, thank you for supporting Dewey and the PFO.

So... What does the PFO Spend Money On?
Glad you asked! We are so proud of the contributions that the PFO has been able to make over the years to enhance both our student and staff experience at Dewey.
When there is a need, PFO is there to help. From field trips to school events to classroom technology, the PFO looks forward to opportunities to make a difference. Check out the details on the attached flyer that provides a great breakdown of what we accomplished in just ONE year!
