D-E Fights Hunger, Spring Carnival: Sunday, May 15

All in the D-E community are invited and encouraged to join in the "D-E Fights Hunger" & Spring Carnival event on Sunday, May 15.  This all-school community service and family fun event has become a new annual spring tradition with something for everyone! 

The event will kick-off at 11:00 AM in Modell's Sports Complex, when volunteers are asked to pitch in and help pack up thousands of 'snack packs' for the local Center for Food Action (CFA).  Volunteers of all ages are welcome.  Click here to sign-up & volunteer for join when "D-E Fights Hunger" !
 
Then at 12:00 PM until 3:00 PM, it's time for the annual Spring Carnival on Leggett Field!  Who will be sitting in the dunk tank this year?  Recent, gracious dunk tank 'victims' have included Upper School Principal Joe Algrant and student government leaders.  This year's event will also feature a petting zoo; bouncy house; games, crafts, and photo booths; performances by D-E student singers; food and beverages; and best of all, free admission.   

At 3:00 PM, after the Spring Carnival winds down, it'll be time for "Iced" CoffeeHouse, with even more live Upper School (US) student performances, also on Leggett Field. 
 
In anticipation of and leading up to May 15,  D-E families are asked to donate food items for the CFA Pantry.  Each division of the School has been asked to provide the following: 
> Lower School:  Cold Cereal/Oatmeal and Macaroni & Cheese
> Middle School:  Packaged Bar Soap and Toothpaste/Toothbrushes & Dental Floss
> Upper School:   Canned meat (tuna, chicken, etc.) and Canned Hearty Soups

Collection bins for food donations are located in the Lower School, Umpleby Hall, and Upper School Lobby areas.  There will also be collection bins available at the "D-E Fights Hunger" & Spring Carnival event on May 15.
