Discovery Dine Out
This year we will be partnering with local restaurants for Discovery Dine Out nights. Our first Discovery Dine Out night will be Tuesday, September 26th at the new Dairy Queen on Marion Road, just south of 26th Street. Discovery PTO will receive 10% of all sales from 5 PM – 8 PM. Thank you in advance for supporting the PTO and our Discovery community!
The next Discovery Dine Out night will be Tuesday, October 24th from 4-8 PM at Culver’s on Louise by Home Depot.
Is the Fun Run Running Away?
For the last few years, the main fundraiser for the Discovery PTO has been the Fun Run each spring. We have decided to not have the Fun Run this school year so that we can revamp the fundraising event next year. This is a significant portion of our annual budget, which allows the PTO to do so much for our students and teachers.
While we are not replacing this event with a different large fundraiser this year, we are trying to be creative with fundraising ideas for the year. If you own or work for a business that partners with nonprofit organizations for fundraising, please let us know. We are open to any suggestions you may have and would love to hear ideas at the next PTO meeting or by emailing the PTO board at sfdiscoverypres@gmail.com.
New PTO Website
The PTO will still utilize our Facebook page but this year we have also launched a landing page where you can find all the information about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, spirit wear, and more. Visit https://linktr.ee/discoverypto, save the website as a favorite, and stay connected to the PTO!
