Why should you join the PTA? Hear it from people who know DPM best--the kids!
One of the primary objectives of the DPM PTA is fundraising to provide financial support to the teachers, staff, facilities, and programs at DPM. Here's how fundraising proceeds are allocated*:
*Based on past years, and subject to change.Every DPM teacher (including art, music, PE, and library) receives their own fund that allows them to purchase supplies, equipment, curriculum, and educational tools they otherwise wouldn’t have.
This year, the goal is for all community events to be entirely free! Fall festival, the spring dance, and smaller community events like skate nights, are entirely funded and run by the PTA.
This includes funding for yearbook, student council, Red Ribbon Week, assemblies, and community night.
With nearly eighty teachers, staff, specialists, and administrators working tirelessly for DPM's students, the PTA provides monthly teacher appreciation.
Software subscriptions, particularly Accelerate Reader
This includes custodial needs, playground equipment, and a clothing fund which enables the school to provide students with replacement clothing when necessary.
