Innisbrook Wrapping Paper Fundraiser
Posted by Amy Jaekel in Fundraising on September 15, 2009
Our Innisbrook Wrapping Paper fundraiser started today! Your child should have a packet in their bag that has two catalogs, an order sheet and a prize brochure. The Innisbrook products are great and we will be putting up some samples in the school for you to check out. The sale runs until October 5th. We hope to make it a success and that the kids have a great time earning prizes. If you have any questions feel free to contact one of us! Alright “Sell 10 to Win!”

*Remember to clip box tops from your empty boxes, bags at home and send them in to the school or put them in the cubby in the lobby!! These are $.10 each, and a very easy way to raise money for the school.
You can also visit the www.TheBigClip.com to earn more points. Set up an account and start earning!!!
Last year, DUG GAP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL earned: $192.
So far this year, it’s earned: $0
Now I know we can do better than that!!! Let’s try to beat our last years earnings before the first deadline October 28th!
I can’t say it enough but THANKS to everyone for your participation in all of our events, meetings etc. We could not do this without you and every little bit goes a long way.

Mulch Day
Posted by Misty Wallace in Work Day on September 9, 2009
Just a few snap shots from Saturday’s Mulch Day. We would like to thank all of the volunteers for pitching in and getting everything done so quick to make the school look great.
I was very excited to see so many of you show up with your tools and get down to business. We finished with an entire dump truck load of mulch in about an hour and 20 minutes; and a big thanks to the local businesses who made donations to make the day a success.
Shepard Lamar & Sons (Shaun Teasley) – Tunnel Hill
Shoney’s – Walnut Ave. for the sausage biscuits,
Daylight Donuts – 41 Hwy for the donuts
Remember to thank these businesses for helping our school! With the rough economy I am very glad they decided to help out and give to us.
**Daylight Donuts is now under New Management and will be open in the afternoons very soon – stop in and thank them for supporting Dug Gap and try something from their menu!**
Again, just a BIG THANKS to everyone how contributed to this day, I can’t wait to see the success we have in our upcoming events.

Mulch Day!
Posted by Amy Jaekel in Work Day on September 2, 2009
Hi ALL!
Well if you haven’t heard by now Saturday the 5th is our Mulch Day! We will be meeting at the school at 9:00 am to spread a truckload of mulch donated by Shepard’s. So if you can help out bring your pitch forks, shovels, rakes and wheel barrows and come mulch with us. Breakfast will be provided!
Thanks!
“We would like you parent volunteers to know how very much we appreciate you! Our new library/media center could not have been ready to open for another week or so , if it weren’t for you and your giving, caring attitude. When one gives of oneself, the gift received back is knowing that YOU have made a difference in the lives of others. We offer our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you!
~ Kathryn & Jo”
Library Help
Posted by Amy Jaekel in General on August 13, 2009
Hello
I am sending out a call for helpers! Our new librarian Ms. Spriggs and Ms. Jo have been working very hard to get the library put back together, but they need some help. A few parents have already been helping and thank you to them. If you have some free time they would love for you to come help with whatever you are willing to do. They are there working from 8 to about 2:30 and are anxious to get things ready for the kids!
Thanks in advance!

New School
Posted by Amy Jaekel in General on August 4, 2009
Hi All!
Misty and I went by the school today to see how it looks. It looks so great! So much brighter and newer. The kids are going to love it. The outside however is another issue. From construction the grounds are full of trash and the landscaping looks jungle-like. So Wednesday night we are going to attack it. All are welcome to come help!
