Join David Skeet on Monday, November 17 as we share a warm meal and celebrate the season of gratitude with our DSE families. Older siblings may join younger siblings during the younger sibling’s lunch time (for example, a 5th grader may eat with their Kindergarten sibling when families come) so families can enjoy their meal together. Visitor & staff plates are $6, and tickets must be purchased in advance. Once tickets are sold out, we cannot provide more. Tickets are going fast, so please stop by the front office to get yours today!
