Making a difference in schools. Together.

MAY 5, 2022

YOU DID IT! In large part through your support, DCSD students thrived this year. With only days left in this school year, as I have told my teens...finish STRONG! Continue to support your schools, sports, and programs to the finish line. This is the final Chapter Chat for the 2021-2022 school year and it is filled with end-of-year processes. Please read this issue thoroughly so you don't miss anything. 

Finally, thank you for all you do for our amazing students, teachers, and schools. YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! - Ashley Sommers, Executive Director, FDCS

The goal of this program is to collect, assemble and distribute new backpacks and school supplies to students in need in Douglas County.
The fourth annual gala will unite the DC community in support of programs in STEM, Career Tech Education, the Arts, and many more areas.
The Expo is a tradition for our 8th grade students.
With over 5,000 students in attendance, participation is a great way to engage the next generation.

We will be holding our Annual Chapter Meeting and Vendor Fair at the end of August or beginning of September 2022. Be on the lookout for more information in the August Back to School Chapter Chat.
