"67 WAYS TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS"
2025 - 2026 Fundraising Campaign
At POSITIVE PTO, our mission is to enrich our middle school environment by fostering strong connections among the administration, teachers, parents, and community members.
This campaign is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and it fuels the “extras” that make DSMS such a vibrant place to learn and grow, including:
Teacher appreciation events and treats
Classroom-enhancing grants
Updates to school spaces
Dances and community-building events
We invite each family to consider a donation of $67 per student. Every dollar stays right here at DSMS and directly supports initiatives that go beyond the public school budget. The POSITIVE PTO is funded entirely by families and community members—you truly make it all possible.
How to Give:
Visit the links below.
Our goal is 100% family participation. Gifts of any amount are valued and help show our students and teachers that we’re all in this together. (Certain awesome eighth graders also insist that donating $67 earns “major aura points,” though we can’t personally confirm this.)
Thank you for being the heart of DSMS and helping us keep 67 Ways to Support Our Students moving forward with energy and joy.
