Well Done Our Mighty Dolphins

Thank you to our Desmares community of parents and guardians, our dolphins, teachers, administrators, and staff members who have donated their time, money, energy, and ideas toward the efforts of your PTO during the 2021 - 2022 school year.


This year, through the efforts of our amazing Desmares community, your PTO has been able to fund many teacher grants for additional tools to enhance student classroom experiences, staff appreciation events, school garden, 4th grade field trip to Camp Mason, assemblies and MUCH more!

We couldn't do all of this without all the support & generosity of our Desmares community!
Have A Great Summer Dolphins!
