Parents' Council: Call for Donations
Dear Parents, dear Teachers, dear Employees – dear School Community!
We have arrived at the third week of the Annual Giving Campaign. Until today, 20% of our school community have participated and have donated money.
What is our goal?
100% participation!!!
Why is a 100 % participation so important?
Corporate sponsors of the DSW are very interested in this number. They compare our participation rate with that of other private schools. This number is used as an indicator of the support by the school community for their school. If the number is low, it raises one question for the sponsors: Why shall we support this school financially if the school community does not do so?
Please consider: IT MATTERS MOST THAT YOU PARTICIPATE - ANY AMOUNT YOU CONTRIBUTE IS APPRECIATED!
Thus, our plea and our call to you:
Be in! If you have not had the chance yet to make a donation, please do it during this week!
It is easy to make a donation:
- Please make your donation online! http://www.dswashington.org/annual-fund-de.html or
- Please leave your check at the reception of the school!
The Parents’ Council thanks you all for your support of the DSW!

Chair of the Parents’ Council
