Desert Sage PTA News
Hi Parents & Friends,
   
    I hope you've all been enjoying the new year so far! We have
many exciting events coming to you soon!
    
     The
1st annual Relay for Life will be held on Jan. 28th from
3:30 to 4:00 p.m. Participants will take laps around the field and
give a donation to the American Cancer Society. With so many of
us having experienced losses due to cancer, we are hoping for a
great turnout to raise awareness to a higher level. PTA will be
helping at this event with water, snacks, and a few other fun
surprises! Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to make a
difference!

    Speaking of Making a Difference, in honor of
Martin Luther
King, Jr
., there was a wishing well placed on the main hall at
school, where all were encouraged to place their own wishes and
dreams. Come by and see some of the wonderful things our
students had to say!

      We will also have our new mural on display soon, thanks to
the hard work of our 4th grade classes during the month of
December. It is a beautiful depiction of Desert Life, and you can
view the powerpoint presentation from the unveiling ceremony.  
    
     Coming up on March 7th, we are going to have an early
carnival this year, due to the exciting addition of the band
Tragedy Andy, who will be performing at the event!! They are a
band with local ties who specialize in meaningful lyrics and upbeat
music. They were such a hit with students and parents alike
during their appearances at school and the community last fall, so
we have asked them to perform at the carnival. We are so excited
to have them!
    
     As usual, the carnival will have BBQ,
free games, inflatables, a
free cake walk, and a basket raffle. Please support us by
volunteering
and help us keep this event affordable with your
donations to the cake walk and basket raffle. Follow this link to
submit your name as a volunteer.

Thanks,
Julie Martin
PTA President
