Donations for Purchase of ebooks (electronic books)

This year, ebooks that students can read on their Chromebooks will be more important than ever. We need to purchase more of the multiple access ebooks (more than one student at a time can check them out) and we have set up a program where parents, grandparents, etc. can donate $30.00 per book in honor or memory of someone if they so choose. These funds will be used to purchase ebooks for DIS and for each donation of $30.00, 3 volunteer hours will be credited. Please contact Ms. Paulette Jane in the office if you wish to participate in this program.
