Dogwood Elementary School is committed to ensuring its students have the resources and support they need throughout the school year to reach their full potential in school and within the community. Through generous local corporate donors, Dogwood has received a limited number of $25 gift cards to support families requiring assistance over the two-week winter break (Monday, December 18, 2023, through Monday, January 1, 2024). Should your family need some assistance, please complete the Winter Break Assistance Request coming out in this Thursday’s folder (November 30), and return the form to the main office by 4 pm on Friday, December 8. If you are receiving assistance through another County agency, program or community group, such as Cornerstones or Herndon-Reston FISH, please do not also request assistance through Dogwood. Distribution of the gift cards will take place during the week of December 11. Once we determine the number of donated gift cards available, a Dogwood staff member will contact families who have turned in a completed Assistance Request, in the order it was received, to arrange for pick-up of the gift cards. Should you have any questions about this form, please contact a family liaison at 703.262.3100.
