Enrichment Fund

 

The DHHS Enrichment Fund – along with your PTO membership dues, Auction proceeds, and other fundraising efforts -- helps support activities and items which benefit students, teachers, and the school at large. For instance:

​

• Enabling the Counseling Office to provide school supplies to students in need

​

• Funding teacher treats and celebrations to show our educators we LOVE them, not only during our traditional Teacher Appreciation Week, but throughout the year

 

• Endowing a modest Principal’s Fund that enables Mr. Joyner to meet special needs as they arise without having to ask the County for help

 

• Recognizing and rewarding the Teacher of the Year

 

• Supplementing parent donations of food and supplies for hospitality needs at the school’s many events and gatherings

 

• Funding teacher grant requests for supplies, software, equipment, books, subscriptions, field trip travel, etc. Teacher grants are, in fact, the largest budget item by far. The PTO’s goal with these grants is to support teachers’ ability to function, to teach, to engage, and to help their students achieve.

​

• Supplementing personal protective equipment (PPE) for faculty and staff and the schoolhouse in general during the COVID-19 pandemic.

​

• School-wide digital tools for design and organization of class content

​

• Lab kits for science classes. 

​

• Subscriptions to online learning platforms and enrichment games for the Math, Science, World Languages, Social Studies, and Food Sciences Departments

​​

• Club supplies and transportation to events
