PTA and Family Room Storage Donations Needed

Our PTA closet is gone — but we gained a whole room! 

We're sharing the new space with the Family Room and Mrs. Gadley has given us the go-ahead to furnish it.

If you have gently used shelving, bookcases, or bins with lids you no longer need, we'd love a donation. Once we're organized, we'll cozy the space up to match! 

Contact president@dranesvillepta.com if you have any supplies you’d like to donate.

Homecoming Parade Float

DES needs your help to make our float a success!  

How can you help?

1) We need students and parents to help decorate the float Friday, October 23rd. We'll be in the school parking lot at 6:30PM 

2) Walk in the parade on Saturday, October 11th around 9AM. (The town provides us with an arrival time, and will update when we receive it)

This year's float theme is: Hollywood Through the Years! Participants are welcomed (and encouraged) to wear a T-shirt from any movie of their choice.

6th graders who participate in the parade will be allowed to ride on the float.
