DES PTO will be hosting an evening event on Nov. 9 from 6-8 p.m., where students are invited to participate in random acts of kindness in partnership with our Raise Craze fundraiser. 

Activities include a candy drop off to be sent to our troops currently deployed (perfect time to get rid of the last of your Halloween candy and put a smile on someone else's face), painting kindness rocks, a gratitude corner for students to engage led by Robin Countryman from our yoga club, coloring bookmarks to be distributed by Edgewater Public Library, coffee cup holders to be handed out at Black Market Bakers, and more! 

Our goal with this event is to empower students and their families to show our community just how kind Davidsonville Elementary is. 

This will be an event for students and their families, and, as such, this is NOT a drop-off event.

Do you love to draw? We need your help to design the cover for this year’s yearbook! One drawing will be chosen as the cover for our 2023-2024 yearbook! 

Entries must be received by November 27th! See the attached flyer for more details!  

This toy collection will support an organization called The Sharing Foundation. It is run by volunteers, and they help the working needy in Anne Arundel County. DES has supported this organization for years by holding a toy drive. Additionally, this organization has helped and will continue to support some of our DES families. 

If you would like to volunteer by making copies for teachers, sign up here! Please call before going into the school to make sure there are copies to be made that day!

DES will host a fingerprint event on November 14 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. The fingerprint-supported background check allows you to volunteer on multiple levels and lasts your child's entire school career at AACPS! 

Go to DES Fingerprint Event for more information!
