The DTES Patrons program offers families and businesses the opportunity to make a monetary donation that has a big impact.
You are SO important to our school’s success and creating a strong community for our children. Your support through volunteering and donations help our students, teachers, and staff thrive. When children see their parents involved and invested in their school, it instills a sense of pride and reinforces the importance of their education.
We are calling on you for help in raising money to support the PTO’s efforts to keep our Trailblazer community strong. Our PTO Patron Drive is the most important fundraiser that we have. Your contribution directly powers projects that enhance the school experience for every student. This year, your patronage will help us:
- Support our amazing teachers. We provide stipends for school supplies at the beginning of every school year, maintain a busy laminating committee to preserve projects and classroom resources, and provide teacher appreciation events year-round to show our heartfelt gratitude for the dedication our teachers pour into the classroom every single day.
- Run memorable extracurricular events. This includes hosting family events like Boohoo Yahoo Breakfast, Trailblazer Talks, and our annual Foam Party, providing the volunteers and supplies necessary for GrandBlazer’s Day, Trailblazer Fitness Adventure, and Field Day, and filling committees for All Pro Dads, Mile Club, Popcorn Wednesday, and musical performances.
- Celebrate student success. We provide a budget for teachers to use toward learning incentives (like AR prizes and parties) and recognize student milestones to motivate them to do their best.
We’ve set a goal to raise $5,000 to fund these initiatives. A gift of any size gets us closer to giving our students and teachers the support they deserve!
Please join us in supporting DeSoto Trail. Your gift, no matter the size, will make an impact in each student’s experience at DTES!
