DeKeyser Care Closet
Dekeyser Elementary Care Closet
At Dekeyser Elementary we are committed to caring for the whole child, so we are proud to present the opening of our Dekeyser Elementary Care Closet. Our focus is on school-age children and their families to ensure general physical needs are met so that learning can take place at the highest level of concentration.
Our resources are limited making it difficult to achieve our outreach goals. We know that our Dekeyser Families and surrounding community have giving hearts and this is where you come in. We are seeking donations of toiletry items and monetary donations to purchase gift cards for families in need of food and household items.
The Dekeyser Elementary Care Closet is strictly non-profit and there are no requirements of parents and our students than to simply ask. We feel that all students should have access to the basic day to day needs to have a successful life.
Please visit our Sign-Up Genius by scanning the QR Code Below.
We are grateful for your generosity!
We will also have the opportunity to participate in other community outreach events throughout the year. We will keep you updated!
If you feel like your student or family could benefit from Care Closet items please contact your classroom teacher, shannon.hjelle@uticak12.org, or shannon.isaacson@uticak12.org.
Poinsettia & Wreath Sale - Nov. 7th - 27th

Toys for Tots - Toy Drive
We are extremely proud to partner with the United States Marines to help provide toys for families in need during the holidays. If you would like to donate a toy for a child in need, please send it in with your child unwrapped. Your child will be able to add the toy to the large toy box. Thank you for your donations during this holiday season. All toys can be donated through December 7th.
Kiwanis Food Drive
All classrooms are collecting non-perishable food to be donated to Kiwanis. This collections starts now and will continue until December 1st. DeKeyser students, staff, and community love to help people in need and are proud to take part in this food drive collection. The classroom with the greatest number of items collected will earn a pizza party. Thank you for helping local families in need!
