THIS WEEK

Our "No Frills" Fundraiser is on-going!

Rather than selling wrapping paper or having a bake sale, this is a chance to raise funds for our STEM night in the spring and for other activities for our Discovery Explorers. The grade that raises the most funds will choose this year's yearbook cover!

Donate Here!

Halloween Candy Collection

From November 6 through 16 we will be collecting unwanted Halloween candy by the front and side entrance doors. All the candy collected will be donated to Bridges to Independence. *NO NUTS* please.

Spirit Day: Friday, November 8th

Wear your favorite team or player's jersey or shirt! Rec team jerseys are great, as is wearing Discovery Red!

Discovery Elementary Coat Drive!

Help keep Arlington kids warm this winter! Discovery Elementary School is organizing a coat drive to provide coats and jackets to local children who need them.

We’ll be collecting children’s coats at Discovery from Wednesday, November 6th through Tuesday, December 3rd. Donation bins will be located in the school Lobby and near Door 6.

If your family has gently used children’s coats in good condition, please consider donating. We are accepting coats and winter jackets that are clean and undamaged (with all zippers/buttons functional).

Coats will be donated to The Clothesline for Arlington Kids. The Clothesline collects quality clothing from the community and distributes it free of charge to low-income, school-aged children in a welcoming store. Your donation will go directly to helping a child stay warm and comfortable during the colder months. Let’s come together to make a difference!

Food Bus Needs You!

We need volunteers (parents and kids!) to drive the donations to AFAC on Friday afternoons. It’s quick, easy and makes a big impact!
