Veteran's Day Program - November 11, 2026

The Veterans’ Day Program will be on Wednesday, November 11th at 9:00 a.m. (for Veteran's Only) and 6:00 p.m. (Open to all visitors)

The morning performance is only for our veterans and their guests. Due to space constraints, no other visitors will be permitted at the morning program. The morning performance will be followed by a light breakfast reception for our veterans. Veterans are required to pre-register here.

For the evening program, we welcome parents, family and friends to attend to support your student.

DLE invites all students to honor a military veteran in their family or community by submitting information for a slide presentation. The information collected below will be used to create a slide honoring your veteran. These slides will be compiled and shared school-wide during DLE’s Veterans Day Tribute Presentations on November 11, 2026. All submissions are due by Friday, November 6, 2026.

Book Fair (November 13 - 20)

Everyone's favorite Fall school event-- BOOK FAIR--  is coming in November.  Your child/children will have the opportunity to shop our Fall Book Fair during the school day, between November 13th and November 20th.  PARENTS: Be on the look out for VOLUNTEER opportunities to sign up for Book Fair Set-up,  Book Fair Assistant Shoppers, Book Fair Cashiers, and Book Fair Break-down.  

The Book FAir is ALWAYS a success because of VOLUNTEERS!  We will be sending out a sign-up genius in the next couple of weeks to sign up for time slots that you may have for helping.  DLE looks forward to earning a portion of the Book Fair proceeds that come back into our school for needs in our library. 

In the meantime, PLEASE REMEMBER: Book Fair is CASH-FREE-- each kiddo will need to have an E-Wallet set up prior to shopping, or come with credit card.  E-Wallet set-up will be available starting at the end of October.
