Back to School Social - WOW!!!!

Ok, how much fun was Friday night at Denton Creek?  We had 360 people eat food from Fat Daddy's.  There were probably several more families who brought their own food.  We definitely had over 400 people at the school.  WHAT A SUCCESS!  Thank you to Roya Tompkins and Katie Hubbard, as well as the dozen volunteers who checked in people or served those very messy cookies (thank goodness for the gloves).  Our great spirit wear ladies, Bonnie Perkins and Nancy Sullivan, along with our spirit wear provider worked hard selling some great DCE duds (I sure loved mine).  A special thank you to Lizzie Hartman and Sheri Shelton for manning the minibouncers.  At some point, we realized that the "Parents please supervise your children in the bounce houses" sign was not working.  Why, you ask?  Well, we will save that for another blog after you get to know me better......  Just kidding.  Our mistake and going forward, we will ask for volunteers to man the bounce houses, too.  You live and learn, right?

What wonderful teachers and administrators we have at Denton Creek.  I saw so many teachers at the event.  I know many parents mentioned how nice it was to visit with the teachers in a more relaxed setting. I hope the teachers enjoyed it as much as the parents did.  Maybe they can spread the word and we will see even more teachers and their families at our next event.  Since I was manning the big kid's bouncer most of the evening, I didn't get to chat personally with many teachers, but I sincerely appreciate you being there to support our PTO event.

The kids seemed to have a blast.  I saw kids of all ages laughing and playing alongside their families.  This is the kind of spirit that I think makes Denton Creek Elementary different from all the other schools in Coppell.  We are one big HAPPY family.

If you weren't able to attend due to the craziness of life, no fear, we will be having more great events, that will be just as fun.  If volunteering at this event looked like something you could handle, please click the volunteer link in your newsletter and select socials/fundraising.

If I didn't get a chance to say hi on Friday, because I was screaming at the bouncing crazies, I apologize.  I hope you all had a great time and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,
Lisa Johnson
