Ways to Support
DFES PTA Fundraising
DFES PTA is committed to providing every child at DFES with the tools they need to reach their social, emotional, and academic potential. With all of the unknowns, we are constantly revisiting our budget, working with educators and administration to determine the priorities for PTA support. While the total budget and allocations may change, your donations will support the following:
Educator and Staff Funds — We support our dedicated public school teachers and staff by providing funds they can use for everything from field trips to magazines, books, carpet cleaning, classroom supplies, and more.
Communications — We use ParentSquare to communicate with our community. If you do not have access, please reach out to parentsquare@dfespta.org for access.
Community Building — DFES PTA organizes and supports cultural and seasonal events celebrating our diverse community including but not limited to annual fall carnival, Umoja, Lunar New Year celebration, toy drive, read-a-thon, neighborhood clean ups, and more.
Outdoor Education Program — DFES has beautiful school gardens and a state of the art outdoor classroom. In our hands-on environmental science program, children grow herbs and vegetables and learn to cook and dry herbs to make herbal teas. DFES PTA supports this program through supply funding.
Summer Planning — DFES PTA supports our teacher leadership and principal in strategic planning sessions in the summer to start the school year off in unity.
The Direct Giving Campaign (DGC) is our biggest fundraiser of the year. And best of all, there is very little administrative cost, so almost 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding crucial programs.
