Upcoming Father-Daughter Dinner Dance
The Father-Daughter Dinner Dance is a fun-filled evening held at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown St. Paul. This event is sure to be a party you won’t want to miss!

The social hour gets underway at 6:00 p.m., along with father-daughter photos, dinner at 7:00 p.m., and dancing until 11:00 p.m. The celebration at the Intercontinental costs $40 per person, which includes dinner and entertainment for the evening.

Food To Hogs
We were given the opportunity to volunteer in the cafeteria from 11:05 to 12:45 to help with a new project called "Food for Hogs”. Introduced to CDH by our very own teacher Mr. Rob Peick, the program has caught the attention of many of our students. Essentially, our duties would be managing food waste and recycling during the lunch periods and guiding the students. It is amazing to see how educated and aware the kids are at following the rules of recycling, knowing this simple act will help them care for our environment!
Sign up, come visit your kids and make the world a better place!
Parents’ Association Dues -Please Help Support Annual PA events!
One important change this year to the Parents’ Association is that we will no longer benefit from the Target Red Card, as Target has decided to go in a different direction with their charitable giving. The PA events, which were subsidized significantly by those contributions, will need some financial backing from all of us at CDH. With that in mind, we are asking each family to pay dues to the Parents’ Association of $30 per family. This will help us to keep the cost of attendance at our events affordable for all and allow us to continue the great traditions that we have been able to enjoy for many years. To send payment please go to Parents’ Association Dues page. Thank you for supporting the CDH Parents’ Association!
Volunteers Needed
The Parents’ Association is already up and running, but we need your help. Most chairs and co-chairs are already in place, but we need many volunteers to make each event a success! To register to volunteer online, go to the CDH Parents’ Association Volunteer webpage.
