By: Natalie Hart, D'Evelyn Dash Chair Volunteers D’Evelyn Parents, mark your calendars! The D’Evelyn DASH has been set for August 26th, 2023. This year's theme is Western / Country. The DASH committee could use your help. We are looking for volunteers to help with the following:
Most volunteer positions can be done from home and on your own time, with a minimal time commitment. If you are willing to help, please send an email to [email protected]. Our first meeting will be on the 26th of January @ 6 pm in the office conference room Logo Contest We want your artwork on this year's t-shirt. We invite you to create the next masterpiece inspired by Western Country Theme.
Logos will be sent out via email to the student body to cast their vote. The artwork with the most votes wins the context. The winner will be notified by February 22, 2023. By: Rick Harvey Chair & D’Evelyn Education Foundation Board of Directors “Six Buckets.” The D’Evelyn Education Foundation (DEF), as the non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the entire D’Evelyn Community, has created these 6 buckets to assist with the needs of the school and allow you, as a donor, to decide if you want your contribution to go to one of these buckets. Those 6 buckets are Athletics, Capital Improvements, Performing Arts (which includes marching band, orchestra, theatre, and choir), Scholarships (including teacher support and Outdoor Lab), Technology, and Textbooks / School Supplies. In past years, DEF has partially funded technology needs such as computers for the computer lab and classroom technology; athletics' uniforms and equipment; performing arts’ new instruments and audio/visual equipment; as well as replacing aging and outdated textbooks and supplies.
Graduating students have received 10’s of thousands of dollars in scholarships and teachers have earned professional development funds as well as monetary awards. D’Evelyn has a new gym floor, weight room, and music room in part through the support of D’Evelyn families and their donations to DEF. In addition to these 6 buckets, DEF also provides funding for Boys & Girls Mentoring, Teacher Appreciation activities, Mock Trial, After-Prom, and Junior High Social Committee. DEF funds the Jaguar Tracks and Parent-Teacher conference dinners for school staff. D’Evelyn Administration determines the needs and priorities for DEF funding based on the requests from coaches, faculty, and activity/club leaders. DEF tries extremely hard to raise enough funds to cover as many requests as possible. But we are not currently able to fund every request. We had a very successful Dinner Auction, but each of the 6 Buckets has priority requests that we just can’t fulfill at this time. Our students and teachers need your help. Please help us fund all these needs! There is no other tuition-free program that can compete with what D’Evelyn offers. No contribution is too small and a donation from every family would show community support for our exceptional school as we attempt to raise $96,000 during this year’s Annual Campaign. Please make your check payable to “DEF” and mail it to the school or contribute online via develyneducationfoundation.com. We thank you in advance for your generous contribution and ongoing support!
