We're wrapping up our Change for the Cure fundraiser next week. Friday the 20th will be the last day to donate. Our buckets are getting pretty heavy, but there's still room for more!
Have your kiddos check couch cushions, the car, or anywhere else they might find loose change or a few extra bills and send it to school with them.
Thank you to everyone who has already donated, we truly appreciate your support!
On March 27th, a couple of Denning's Kindness Club members will be accompanying me to Z100 to drop our donation check for St. Jude. You can tune in at 8:40 AM to hear them on the radio as they talk about why donating was important to them.


Thank you Mrs. Beth McClerren for visiting with 2nd grade and sharing your book with us. Your passion for music and teaching continues to impact the students at Denning. Thank you again!
