Health Screening Helpers Needed
Our Kindergarten, First, and Third grade kids will be participating in mandated health screening on Wednesday Nov. 2nd. With all the shoes to be tied and waiting, we need a few extra hands.  Please click here and see when you can help and spend some time with our sweet students.  Any time that you can give will be greatly appreciated!
Candy Buy Back
It's that time of year again! Dr. Goodnight will be buying back Halloween candy on Friday, Nov. 4th from 7:15 to 8:00 am in the front of Dale Mabry Elementary. He will also buy back candy
at his South Tampa office November 1st thru Nov 3rd 8:00-5:00 (offices are closed Friday thru Sunday). He will turn that candy into cash for you and send the candy to Operation
Gratitude. They send it to men and women overseas in care packages. So send some smiles to our U.S. Military and put some cash in your hand at the same time. For more information
