Unfortunately, Octoberfest is cancelled this year. For our new families, this is a fair fundraiser we have held for 23 years at DSE! We will be back next year, but in the meantime there are other ways that you can contribute to help PTA make a difference for students and staff at DSE!
- Box Tops – download the app, sign up to donate to Dripping Springs Elem School, and start scanning!
- Go to Amazon Smile and choose Dripping Springs Elementary School PTA as your charity. When you shop, 0.5% comes to us automatically and you will still have access to the same products and pricing. Then make sure your Amazon phone app is up to date – find ’Settings’ in the Amazon main menu (☰). Tap on ‘AmazonSmile’ and follow the instructions to link your app to the charity.
- Cool Cat Cash Store – Have you been cleaning out closets? We can take your donations! Please contact the Cool Cat Cash Store to schedule a drop off time with PTA.
- Support students and staff by making a monetary donation to help fund enrichment programs, assemblies, recess equipment, and staff appreciation.
- Upload yearbook photos using the Balfour Image Share app. It’s easy to create an account, add our project number (120093), and add photos for the yearbook!
- The mission of PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality. Watch this video and please help us support every child at DSE by joining.
