The D5 Foundation is hosting a Pampered Chef fundraiser going on now through December 15th (to allow time for holiday shipping). All proceeds will go right back into your schools through snack packs, emergency funds, teacher grants, and student grants. This is a quick and easy way to knock out some of that holiday shopping plus help others in need at the same time.

Happy Holidays!
