MAGAZINE DRIVE
We did it! Our DJAMS’ families raised a total of $105,987.50 in sales!! Congratulations Broncos!! Way to go!! Thanks to all of our students and families for supporting DJAMS. We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s hard work. The top selling homeroom was Ms. Berndt with 96.55%! The top overall seller was Morgan Seymour with 76 items! A special thanks goes to our wonderful ASB students, our incredible Activities Director Kirschel Vollebregt, and our dedicated parent volunteers. Our students had a great time with all of the events that coincided with the sale. Our net profits this year will enable us to support academic competitions, fund lunchtime sports, increase technology, provide our students with fun activities, supplement communication tools, host exciting dances and enhance our rewards program for students.
