The results are in, and DSA’s 7th annual 5th Grade Math Competition was a wonderful success. Over 200 students from all over the metro area came to the Dove campus to participate in this year’s challenge. After a “good luck” breakfast was served to students by DSA teachers, the math exam began. Test questions covered a variety of math skills and difficulty levels. Once the tests were completed and scored, an awards ceremony was held in the DSA gymnasium.

Discarded cell phones account for nearly 65,000 tons of toxic waste each year. Cell phone recycling is critical because each cell phone can pollute up to 132,000 liters of water.
More than 500 million unwanted cell phones are either awaiting disposal in the home, or seeping hazardous lead, mercury, cadmium, brominated flame retardants, and arsenic into the environment. And with new features available every year, a cell phone's average life is now less than 18 months, adding more than 125 million cell phones (and their batteries) to our landfills each year — or 2 million toxic mobile phones dumped each week. Because the United States has yet to establish federal regulations requiring mobile phone recycling, donating or recycling cell phones is at less than 1 percent.

Haiti Earthquake Victims Waiting For Help!
Haiti Earthquake: a catastrophic earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but the death toll -- already in the thousands -- is climbing fast. This is the worst earthquake to hit the area in more than 200 years. This is the time that we need to show our friendship and brotherhood.
Our school has launched a campaign for Haiti earthquake victims.
We are asking if any parent/guardian would like to donate to this cause. If so, you can do so by sending a check or money order made payable to Raindrop Helping Hands to your student’s homeroom teacher. This organization is a non-profit organization that was established to meet the needs in our community and beyond. 100% of the funds collected through the Helping Hands' account will be delivered to the authorized people to deliver it to Haiti Earthquake victims. More information is listed on the following link . Raindrop HelpingHands
Thank you so much for giving to such a need!
