The DVMS PFC is a 501(c)3 non-profit education foundation (federal tax ID #68-0304947). All donations are tax deductible.
Bobcat Booster Funds:
The DVMS PFC does not ask parents to contribute to multiple fundraisers per year. Our sole source of funds is through our Bobcat Booster funds. You can easily make online donations for this fundraiser. Make a one-time gift or spread your donation out over the year! For the price of a few lattes a month, you can make sure your child has the educational resources they deserve. We’re so grateful for the generosity of families who contribute to the Bobcat Booster fund, but currently, only about 40% of our families contribute to these funds. Imagine what we could do for our students if EVERY family contributed, at whatever level they could afford! Every dollar makes a difference.
Every single student benefits from funds raised by the PFC. The more we raise, the more resources we can provide your child.

Especially in these times of drastic budget cuts which have cut crucial educational resources, we need our DVMS families to step up and help up bridge the gap between what our district will fund and what our students need to be well-prepared for high school. Examples of items funded by the PFC are:
Technology purchases and upgrades: iPads for teachers, Chromebooks and Smart Boards in every classroom, new cameras for the Yearbook class
Student assemblies, presentations, and educational resources: Smart Start, Career Day, Astronomy Night, Anti-Bullying resources, Practicing gratitude & grit, Do the Right Thing program, Odyssey of the Mind academic enrichment program
Band program: band trip scholarships, instrument repair and maintenance
Campus beautification projects: flower beds, new benches, student-led garden
Supplemental funding for extra math sections funded through the Academic Booster Fund
Parent Education resources such as social media presentations
Supplemental Classroom supplies and funding for special classroom projects
We are grateful for whatever amount you can give.
