We run on volunteers, and there are many opportunities at DES this year! 

Background check/fingerprinting

All volunteers are required to complete a Commercial Background Check or Fingerprint Supported Background Check through AACPS. More information is available on the AACPS website. 

TEACHERS ELVES

Do you have some time to spare during the day to make copies, laminate, and complete other tasks for teachers? Sign up to be a part of the teachers elves program! Help is needed every day of the week so make sure you toggle between the different tabs to find days that work with your schedule! Reach out to Laura Bryer with any questions! 

Holiday shoppe

This year's Holiday Shoppe will be Tuesday, December 9, from 4:30-7:30 p.m. We are recruiting parent volunteers and elves to help with the event. If you are a parent interested in helping, or a parent of a fifth-grader who wants to be an elf, please click here to sign up. Please email Sophia Celino with questions.
