Finals Care Packages are an easy way to reward your student for hard work, give him/her something to look forward to during Finals week, and contribute to the fundraising efforts for Prom and Senior Banquet. Finals Care Packages consist of two bottled drinks (typically iced teas), and 8-10 snacks that vary each semester. Snacks are typically a balance between granola bars, fruit snacks, pretzels, popcorn, and sweet treats like licorice, mints, chocolate bars, and jolly ranchers. All bags are completely nut free. There is also an option to order a bag that in addition to being nut free, is also dairy and gluten free. Parents are also invited to write a personal note of encouragement that is included in their student's bag (see school website reference below for more instructions on how to do so). All bags are delivered the morning of your student's first Final - directly to their classroom. If you forgot to order them in advance and want to order for Spring Finals, the price is $15. You can order via the Jeffco Fees website or through the Financial Desk at school no later than Friday, April 19. The fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to order Finals Care Packages is during Registration this summer when you pay your fees. They are listed as an Optional Fee and both semesters are sold as a single unit costing $22. All funds raised from the sale of Finals Care Packages goes toward funding for Prom and Senior Banquet. The 2019 D’Evelyn DASH, to be held on August 24th, is right around the corner and we are currently seeking sponsorships. Not only will your business receive extensive exposure to our D’Evelyn families, but the promotion you receive will extend out to the general public in the form of posters and door hangers distributed throughout the community. For more information on sponsorship benefits, click here. We estimate that with the combined DASH 5k2k, the high school cross country meet, and the collection of promotional booths set up, the DASH draws roughly 3,000 people over the course of the morning! Sponsorships are available from $150 to $1,000. The minimum level puts your logo on the event t-shirt and all promotional materials, as well as entitles you to set up a booth the day of the DASH. A major benefit reserved for the $500 and up level is the inclusion of your logo on 2,500 door hangers we distribute around the community. For more information on how you can become a D’Evelyn DASH Sponsor, please contact [email protected]. ITS TIME TO REGISTER! Registration for the Inaugural D’Evelyn Alumni & Community Golf Tournament is now open! All skill levels are welcome to join us at Arrowhead Golf Club on May 4th to support the D’Evelyn Education Foundation. See the following website for more details.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS – our next event is Friday, April 26 at JumpStreet in Littleton. Additional information will be sent out soon. The Jr. High Boosters Club was created to help build a sense of community amongst our Junior High Students. Each year, several events are held to achieve that mission.

If so, submit your best D’Evelyn DASH T-shirt design for the upcoming 2019 DASH. Simple is better, we can’t include too much detail on the t-shirts. If your design is picked, you will win a $50 Starbucks gift card. Designs must be submitted to the front office by February 28th. Please note, if your design is chosen, it may be edited/cropped to fit the parameters needed by our graphic designer. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Inaugural D’Evelyn Alumni & Community Golf Tournament sponsored by the D’Evelyn Education Foundation at Arrowhead Golf Club. It is with great enthusiasm that we cordially invite the 2,600+ D’Evelyn Alumni and all other members of our proud community to participate in the first D’Evelyn Education Foundation golf fundraiser. This is a great chance to reconnect with D’Evelyn friends and families established since our school was founded 25 years ago and build new relationships with others in our community. This year’s special appeal by the Board of Directors for the D’Evelyn Education Foundation is to raise $250,000 for a full renovation of our Main Gymnasium. Our gym is in need of this renovation given every D’Evelyn family member utilizes the gym as the main hub for school events, activities, sporting events, dances, and community events. All proceeds from this event will go towards enhancing the renovation and uphold the pride we have in our school. Online registration will be open soon! Reservations are expected to fill fast so register ASAP in order to guarantee your spot in the tournament! Please see the tournament website at https://develyngolftournament.weebly.com/ for more details and information. Contact D’Evelyn Alumni and Assistant Principal Dan Wille with specific inquiries: [email protected]. The Dash will take place on August 24th, 2019!
However, most of the work takes place in the spring and the Dash Committee could use your help! We are needing help with the following positions: Co-Chair for Student Booths: We are looking for someone to shadow our current Student Booth Coordinator, Allison Sapuppo. This job involves sending out info packets to all student clubs and athletic groups asking them to host a booth at the Dash, keeping track of which groups want booths and then following up with their needs in the fall. Again, all documentation is in google drive and Allison will be there to show you how everything is done. This job requires minimal computer hours in the spring and then again just before the Dash. Smaller Jobs: Not sure where you want to help or maybe you can take on pieces of things but not the whole thing? Email us at [email protected]. We can use your help in any way and would love to work with you! Help Your Student Look Forward to Finals: Order a Finals Care Package!

If so, please contact Tara Sawinski @ [email protected] before November 30th 2018. Thank you to the over 250 people who helped us to celebrate 25 Years of Academic Excellence Friday evening! Our D’Evelyn Choir provided entertainment and there were many different ways to support our school: The Auction committee sold beautiful Spirale Wine Glasses, Boys and Girls Soccer held a wine pull, the DEF Board distributed some high value re-loadable DEF King Soopers Cards, and we held some fun drawings in addition to the silent and live auctions. Financially, we also have reason to celebrate! After expenses, Friday evening we raised more than $70,000. Half (~$35,000) will be dedicated to the gym renovation project, and half (~$35,000) to the DEF general fund, that is used to support academics, the arts, athletics and scholarships for D’Evelyn students annually. Since the paddle raise generated over $30,000, the Foundation has agreed to grant $30,000 from reserve funds to the Gymnasium Renovation project. Thank you again to all our sponsors, our numerous dedicated volunteers and item donors who made this evening an event to remember.
