A huge THANK YOU to Mayor John Mondy for donating the trees to our campus for winning this contest and to Tip Top Lawn Care for lending their time & expertise in planting these trees.

We’ve come to the time of the school year where it’s harder to get up in the morning and harder to come inside in the evenings. We have quick dinners to make it to soccer and baseball practice, and we keep close to the weather radio to monitor the Spring storms. It’s been a great year at Dodd, and we have had a fantastic time bringing you all of the events and programs that spanned this year. We hope you were able to make it out to at least one of our fun nights- Science Night, the Carnival, Heritage Night, and our very informative Internet Safety program. If you were a volunteer this year, we thank you for the time you donated to help our Dino-kids. We’d like to recognize all of you at our final meeting of the year on May 13 at 7:00 pm in the lunchroom. We’ll have an ice cream party to celebrate how cool it is to be a volunteer. And if you didn’t get a chance this year to spend some time at school, make the commitment now to be there next year. It’s an experience you won’t regret. Have a great summer!
