Gift Card
The next DCES PTO  gift card orders are due on Monday, April 15th. The gift card program is a terrific way to buy gifts for your teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week (week of May 6) Year End gifts, birthday gifts, Mother's Day, Father's Day, as well as everyday shopping to stores you shop at regular basis, while raising money for DCES.  In addition, there are no activation or additional fees.  The processing turn around is about 10 days, so gift cards should be ready around April 25th.
