The D’Evelyn Education Foundation Annual Dinner Auction - “Giving Thanks and Giving Back”
We are just days away from the 2022 D’Evelyn Dinner Auction. I am excited to invite you and your family to attend this wonderful event. Families can still purchase tickets, register for the auction (Unable to attend? You can still bid online!), and make a monetary donation on our event website. Join your friends and mingle with D’Evelyn staff while enjoying a delicious fall-themed dinner, dessert bar, and drink. Put in a bid for some of the amazing auction items like a D’Evelyn letter jacket and other D’Evelyn swag, reserved East Lot parent parking, and Denver Burger Battle tickets. Have fun at an ‘Auction Party’ like a pizza party with Band Director Dr. Craig Theis or a hot chocolate tailgater. The live auction is equally as impressive with a Pro Traeger Grill, Nuggets basketball club tickets with autographed basketball, and a ski area condo with four ski passes. And get a jump on your holiday shopping with one of our many themed gift baskets. We have many great programs to support, so we really need you to come and enjoy this great event! The D’Evelyn Education Foundation (DEF) was established in 2004 as a non-profit organization designed to provide the financial support necessary to maintain the academic, athletic, performing arts, and scholarship programs at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School. The financial support of DEF is essential to the continued success of our great school and serves the important function of supporting D’Evelyn students, teachers, and staff both inside and outside the classroom. Among the various programs DEF supports, this year, the fundraising efforts will support:
DEF fundraises through a variety of methods and events each year, including the D’Evelyn Dash, the Auction, the Annual Giving Campaign, and the Annual Golf Tournament. In order to provide this ample support to D’Evelyn students and teachers, we ask D’Evelyn families to consider opportunities that they can support including attending and participating in the Auction. If you have questions or ideas on how you can get involved, please contact Jenna Spendlove, Executive Director and Auction Chair, at [email protected]. D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School is a special school. The commitment of our students, faculty, and staff is integral to the success of our rigorous liberal arts program outlined in the D’Evelyn Founding Document. The support of D’Evelyn parents, families, and alumni allows for our academic and extracurricular community to continue to be special. I am touched by the steady and consistent support we receive in so many different ways from D’Evelyn families. It is my sincere hope that you will be able to join in this important community fundraising event on November 11th. Other Quick Links:

As Veterans Day approaches, it is important to take time to acknowledge the meaning of this national holiday. D’Evelyn strives to prepare students for roles as active, informed citizens who celebrate the strengths of our nation. To celebrate our patriotism we emphasize the unique values, freedoms, and liberties essential to the United States and can think of no better group of heroes who represent the importance of these lofty ideals than the men and women who have unselfishly served our nation. Our veterans and active duty service members sacrifice tremendously giving up their safety, comforts of home, friends, and family, and at times their lives to model true service, heroism, and honor. By their selfless service, they show us that the democratic ideals upon which our country was founded and the freedom which the United States personifies are worth fighting to protect. We find it imperative that we thank these men and women for their self-sacrifice and service to our country. Thus, we are excited to celebrate our veterans and their families at D’Evelyn’s Veterans Day Tribute Event on November 11th. Please see the below information for more details:
We invite all veterans and active service members to join us at 1:20 pm in the cafeteria for snacks and refreshments before the tribute.

Now that fall sports and activities are winding down, the Forensics team would like you to consider speech and debate. For junior high school students, we have Debate Club which meets every Thursday after school from 2:35-3:30 in Library Room C. We'll be learning about "debate thinking" and looking ahead to competing in a few middle school tournaments in the future. For high school students, we have the Speech and Debate team which meets every Tuesday after school from 2:35-3:15 in Library Room C, plus time for practicing in the students' events. We have competition opportunities nearly every weekend from November through February. Which tournaments a student competes in is determined by the student -- no one competes in every tournament. Students may choose to compete in a number of different types of speaking. Join some of the famous people who competed in junior high and high school Speech and Debate: Zac Efron, Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Idina Menzel, Jane Pauley, Oprah Winfrey, Keenan Thompson, Kal Penn, Honorable Sonia Sotomayor, Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson, Jared Padalecki, and more. Participation in Speech and Debate has also been shown to provide young people with the communication skills needed in most professions, increase standardized test scores, develop leadership skills, evaluate information, and increase critical thinking. For more information, please contact coach Tammie Peters at [email protected]
