We have made huge waves in reading this month at DeSales! Please join us for our Family Literacy Night from 6:00-7:30 on Wednesday, May 25th in the DeSales gym!

Remember to turn in your child's reading calendar to their teachers on Wednesday, May 25! We will put all of the students names who participated in a bowl. Selected students will have the chance to throw a pie at Mrs. Rahill if we reach 90 percent participation for our May reading!

In an effort to help those impacted by the recent senseless act of violence, this Friday, May 20th, we will hold a Dress Down Day to benefit Buffalo Community Fridges.

We encourage students to dress down in anything Buffalo - your Buffalo Bills jerseys, Buffalo Bisons t-shirts, Buffalo Sabres gear etc.

Buffalo Community Fridges Needs: Diapers, Wipes, Baby Food, Baby Formula, Paper Towels, Toilet Paper. Items will be delivered to Buffalo Community Fridges on Monday, May 23rd. Any monetary donations will be used to purchase and deliver items from this wish list.
