Debts Incurred Throughout the Year

Please make sure that any money owed to the cafeteria or library is paid before the last day of school. Money not paid will be subject to a fine from the District Magistrate. We appreciate your attention to this matter.

Thank you from the Eppersons

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the East Derry Walking Club and Mrs. Dill for your kindness and generosity. Words cannot express how much your thoughts and prayers and well wishes have meant to our family during this trying time. We would also like to thank all of the East Derry staff, parents, and students and other members of the community for their generous donations. All of you in your own way have made this situation that much more bearable. It will be some time before our life returns to normal. But thanks to your support and prayers we will recover. God bless each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

          ---------Mike, Zoe, Zackery, and Zoe Marie Epperson

 Relay for Life

We raised $238.80 for Relay for Life, and 5th graders were the winners of the Relay for Life Penny Drive. Congratulations, East Derry!

Relay For Life Week was April 21-25 at East Derry. Relay Rosie came to kick-off the week.  She shared how she keeps up her healthy eating and exercising while visiting some of her favorite places.  The 2008 Relay For Life theme is "Your Favorite Vacation Destination."

Students were asked to bring in pennies to help in the fight against cancer.  The fifth graders brought in the most pennies and won a Healthy Snack Party.

 

Walking Club 

The "Whacky Wednesday Walking Club" is pleased to announce that we have raised $1,535 toward the Epperson Fund.  We purchased many gift cards from the following places: Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sheetz, and Giant.

We want to say a great big THANK YOU to all who contributed to this important fundraiser.  Without the help of the teachers and staff, parents, students, cafeteria workers, local churches, friends and acquaintances, this would not have been possible.

Once again, we appreciate the effort that everyone has put forth to make this fundraiser a huge success.

God Bless!
Walking Club and Coordinator, Carol Dill

Attendance

Just a reminder that we take attendance and continue to verify attendance by your handwritten notes up until the last day of school.  Please remember that for every day absent a note from you is needed. 

 

 

          I would like to wish all of you a healthy, restful, relaxing summer in preparation for a brand new school year. Thank you for all of your cooperation throughout the year.

 

Linda S. Mohler, Ph.D.

Principal

Have a great summer!

See you in the fall!
