FAD Digital Sign

It's time to have a digital sign at the Desmares entrance! Your PTO will be asking for donations towards the digital sign throughout the year.

The digital sign will help your PTO advertise FAD events promptly instead of our amazing parent volunteer changing it manually whenever is needed.

It might take us more than one year but together we can make it happen! You can donate towards the digital sign on Membership Toolkit.

We couldn't do all of this without the support & generosity of our Desmares Community!
