Expect Moore…a note from our president

What a great start to the school year!!! One month down, 8 to go.
I would like to start out by thanking those of you that participated in our raffle sales. It was a huge success!!! Congratulations to the winners of the Nintendo Wii and $300 Mastercard. Also, 5 lucky students were drawn to go on a limo lunch with Mr. Evans to McDonalds. What fun that was!!!

I hope those of you that joined us for the spaghetti dinner enjoyed your night out of the kitchen. We served approximately 340 people. Thank you to all that volunteered and all that joined us for dinner. It was a fun family night at Dodd.

The November elections are drawing near. I’m sure most of you have heard about the WISD bond and tax ratification issues that we will be voting on. This election is extremely important to the future education of our children. We will have a representative from WISD at our general PTA meeting on October 14 at 7pm to answer any questions that you may have. Please join us so you can be well informed before casting your vote.

The Dodd carnival is planned for November 14. Please save the date and be looking for volunteer sign ups to come home with your child soon.
