A Note from our PTA President
Hello Dillard Drive PTA Members,
I first want to say thank you all for being a part of the DDES PTA as your new PTA President. I have been hard at work reviewing past items and gathering as much information as possible. Thank you for your patience as we move through this transition process. With that being said, I would like to introduce you to your PTA board for the 2019-2020 school year. We are super excited to be a part of the DDES community and we are going to start off slow and grow. We are working on our top five committees and we will need some of you to support our efforts by becoming leads for each of these committees.. Stay tuned for more information on this. We have a board meeting on November 22nd where we will take a vote and finalize each committee.
Our goal is to support the school and our community and we will need your help to do just that. As we move forward, we plan to do a better job of sharing upcoming events, engage teacher and school support, and strengthen fundraising efforts. We have a lot of items on the table we want to accomplish and we will need all the support from each of you to do them.
We have updated our DDES PTA website (www.ddespta.com). We will share events, newsletters, school information, and more, so please feel free to take a look and check back often as we will be updating this website with important information throughout the year.
We look forward to serving you and getting to know you all! Thank you again for your patience during our transition and we will be in touch with our first PTA meeting soon!
Thank You!
Your PTA President,
Stacey P. Webb

We’re participating in the My Energy Kit Challenge through Duke Energy and The National Theatre for Children. The goal of the program is to save energy by giving our families the opportunity to request a FREE Energy Kit full of items that can be used to save energy around the home. If our school reaches 100 sign-ups for the FREE kit from our families and staff, we’ll automatically win $250. Right now, we have 75 sign-ups. Please help us make a difference.
