Dear DES Family,
We invite you to join us as we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week with all our school faculty and staff. Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and
impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom. They play a pivotal role in our children’s lives, inspiring a lifelong love of learning and discovery and making a difference
in their well-being and long-term success.
Thanks to the PTO everyone will enjoy a special lunch and as a school we are providing a special luncheon on Friday. Let’s show our thanks and gratitude to these stellar educators. We encourage you to send a note, message or phone call recognizing all the dedicated individuals in your child’s school life. Blast off with us during PTA Teacher Appreciation Week
to #ThankATeacher for all that they do to help our children reach for the stars.
