Barbara MacDougall, Chairman
2019-2022
Theme: "Hooked on DAR Schools!"
The theme for the DAR School Committee for
the Van Buren Administration is Hooked on DAR
Schools and for $25 you can support the schools
and proudly wear the “School of Sunfish Pin”.
The pin features three adorable shining sunfish,
swimming in perfect synchronization as part of a
school. By wearing the “School of Sunfish” pin,
you can demonstrate your desire to cooperatively
support projects of the schools. Your donation
supports initiatives at each of the following:
- DAR Schools
- Kate Duncan Smith (KDS) DAR School
- Tamassee DAR School, Inc.
- DAR Approved Schools
- Berry College, Inc.
- The Crossnore School and Children's
Home
- Hillside School, Inc.
- Hindman Settlement School, Inc.
Each of these schools has a unique focus
and specific needs. You can learn about them
by watching videos on the national committee
site and by visiting their school websites.
Here are some ways your chapter can help the
NSDAR mission of education:
- Purchase a DAR Schools pin for $25.
- Contribute $200 to the Friends of the
DAR Schools Fund and proudly wear your
donor pin.
- Collect box tops and send them to the
school of your choice.
- Collect ink cartridges and ship them to
the participating recycling company who
will then credit the school.
- Learn about the schools at a chapter
meeting.
This is important to note: Do not bring your
box tops or ink cartridges to state meetings.
Each chapter is responsible for sending these
directly on to the school or recycling program
of your choice. The directions and mailing
addresses are on the DAR School Committee
website.
