PTA News
Message from the PTA President
It is hard to believe that we are just a week away from the end of the school year! The DCES PTA was so excited to bring back so many of our well loved events, introduce new events, and spoil both our students and staff this year. Together we raised just over $36,000 to:
- purchase recess equipment
- provide four amazing assemblies
- host Monster Mash
- host Love Always Wins Family Gala
- host four Party-at-the-Playground events
- hold running club
- provide a tasty treat and provide supplies for field day
- provide staff grants for classroom supplies
- provide the staff with fantastic staff appreciation days
And the list just goes on. On behalf of the PTA, we can't thank you enough for your generosity and support to make all of this possible for our school community.
While we thought that this year was absolutely amazing, we want to hear your thoughts too! Please complete this survey and let us know your thoughts about the PTA's efforts this school year. It will help us immensely as we begin planning our events for next year. The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/23eUyr3XEbqVohot7. Thank you in advance!
