“Be Wise; focus on the future with education.”
Whoo Gives a Hoot about Education? DAR gives a
Hoot!
We give a hoot for education and
wisely offer support for our State Regent’s Project at
KDS. So how else can chapters help the DAR Schools and
learn more about them? Ideas offered by the wisest owl
Sally Bueno, NSDAR DAR Schools Chairman, and by
chapters reporting on the CMR (Chapter Master Report):
HOOT! HOOT! HOOT! Report chapter activity on
the Master Questionnaire.
