Rather than host multiple fundraisers throughout the year, we do one annual campaign. This year, our campaign goal is to raise $20,000. If each family made a gift of $25, we could easily exceed our goal! (You, of course, can give more.)

NO amount is too small, as anything we raise directly benefits the students of DSA. Please consider making a donation to help to ensure that current and future students have a great experience at DSA. There are two ways to make your tax-deductible donation:

Send a check payable to DSA PTSA and mail it to the school:

Looking for a simple way to brighten a teacher’s day?

Our PTSA has put together a fun list of our teachers’ and staff members’ Favorite Things! This list includes their go-to treats, small joys, and even items they’d love to add to their classrooms (be sure to check out columns M and N).

If you’d like to surprise a teacher or staff member this season, explore their favorites using the link below:
