Coat & Winter Clothing Drive

Monday, October 2nd – Thursday at 10am, October 5th

DCS Montessori is once again partnering with our sister school in Colorado Springs to provide coats for children who can’t afford them. We will be collecting coats and winter wear during carpool.  Please consider donating gently used coats and winter you no longer need. Or, of course, feel free to buy a new one for these awesome kids! There will also be a collection box at the entryway to the school. Thanks so much! 

Donations will go directly to students in need at Will Rogers Elementary School in Colorado Springs where 86% of the students live below the poverty level.

Thank you for showing your COUGAR spirit and helping to live out the DCS Montessori Vision of enriching the world by SHARING THE WARMTH.
