Desert Trails Read-a-Thon~ Thanks to our wonderful PTO for launching a fundraiser that supports reading!!! Our Bedtime Story Hour was such a fun time with students of all ages.
Many teachers came out in support of this fundraiser to motivate our students to read, read, read! Thank you also to our parents and students who joined us in the Library this past Monday and Wednesday nights. We appreciate your support!

Doozy of a Deal Inc.~ During these difficult economic times, fundraising has become quite an arduous undertaking. We are very thankful to have supporters like you to help us reach our goals.In order to help us raise these ever-important funds to help our school function to its maximum potential, we are very excited to be partnering with Doozy of a Deal, Inc., the Valley’s new “Deal of the Day” website, which delivers savings of 50-80% off at local restaurants, studios, spas, attractions, etc. Doozy of a Deal has committed to donating 7.5% of all proceeds from our families back to our school.Please review the information on the attached flyer that came home today, or simply follow this link (www.doozyofadeal.com) to sign up. Be sure to select “Desert Trails Elementary” as your benefiting organization, so that we will receive 7.5% every time you make a purchase. This is not a PTO fundraiser but another avenue to raise funds for Desert Trails and give families great deals! Thank you for your continued support.
