In memory of former DCMS student, 

Quinn West
 
Desert Canyon Elementary School & Yogurtology: April 22-May 1

Quinn West loved to read.  In order to honor her memory and in an effort to share that love of reading with others, her family and the DCES PTO is gathering used books to be donated to Family Promise homeless shelter.

The shelter is seeking books for kids grades 2-12.  It has also been brought to our attention that there is currently a huge need for board and soft books for babies and toddlers.  No adult books, please.

Books can be dropped off at the DCES office or Yogurtology April 22 - May 1.

Thank you for your participation in this effort!
