Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful break and is ready for a great spring at Daniel Island School. As we head into 2019, I wanted to share some of the great things your PTAmembership donations funded at DIS and for the DIS community this past fall. Plus, I am excited to share all the events and efforts coming this Spring. Please know your feedback and suggestions are always welcome. Feel free to reach me anytime at danielislandpta@gmail.com. Thank you, as always, for your support. -- Jill Shively, PTA President
