Good Afternoon Dennison Families,
Happy Friday! We have had an incredibly busy week at Dennison. Congrats to our 3rd-5th grade students for completing their ELA CMAS assessments! We are so proud of their efforts.
EVACUATION DRILL
We performed an evacuation drill today. We followed district safety procedures and students walked to Creighton Middle School, our designated evacuation site. We stayed there until we were told it was okay to return to the school. This drill was conducted with the assistance of Jeffco's Department of School Safety.
If you would like to know more about Jeffco's emergency procedures, you can find them here. If you have any questions about the Jeffco Public Schools policy on safety drills, you may review Policy EBCB, “Safety Drills,” online here.
Our first priority is always the safety of our students, and this drill provided a beneficial practice for staff, students, and visitors in our building at the time.

DENNISON SPRING SPIRIT WEAR IS HERE!
It's time for our spring merch fundraiser! 🎉 Favorites from the fall + new designs & options are now available for purchase! We raised over $5,000 last time and got 400+ pieces into the community. Since the feedback was so positive, be sure to ask your family & friends to support Dennison through these apparel pieces. Like last time, we will be doing a presale until early April. We will only be doing this one time this round so be sure to secure your merchandise. We will be producing and delivering to the classrooms by early to mid May. If you have any feedback or don't see pieces you forgot to purchase last fall, let us know and we can try to accommodate.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!
Teacher appreciation week is coming up in May and each year Dennison hosts a raffle for the staff as a part of the Teacher Appreciation Week festivities. We need your help in making this raffle a success!
We are asking for items or gift card donations for the raffle to be dropped off in the office or sent in with your student (please label for teacher appreciation week raffle) and they can bring it to the office. On the sign up, you will see themes and ideas but feel free to be creative if you have an idea for a raffle item! If you donate to one of the basket ideas, you can bring in multiple items or just one and we will make a basket for the raffle. Even a $5 gift card or item helps! All items must be sent in by Friday, May 3rd. Thank you Dennison families! Let’s make sure we let our amazing school know how much we appreciate all that they do daily for our children!
