Giving Tree
The DCES Giving Tree will be up and running by the end of the week. This year the tree will be virtual with a sign up genius. Be on the lookout for the sign up. If you need holiday assistance or food assistance please contact Mrs. Michael at deena.michael@fcps.org. All contacts are confidential.
November Food Drive:
Each year DCES participates in a food drive to assist DCES families for Thanksgiving and beyond. Items that are collected are dispersed to DCES families and then the remaining items are given to The Greater Urbana Area Food Bank, which services over 200 families in the Linganore, Oakdale, and Urbana area feeders.
If you are in need of items this holiday season please contact Mrs. Michael, school counselor, at deena.michael@fcps.org or 240-236-5960. All families are kept confidential with private pick up.
Please consider donating some of the following to the school. You may drop off the items at the school between 8:30 and 4 (M-F) from November 1st - 22nd in a bin inside the front doors. Below is just a suggested list so that we do not end up with 200 cans of corn! Please feel free to bring other items as well. Please no expired food.
