A special note to teachers and staff…
DSHS parents and supporters contribute money specifically for these grants to help you extend and expand your instruction in ways you may not otherwise be able to do. We encourage your participation in applying!
Please direct questions to [Michele McCuen], DHS PTA VP of Grants, at [michele.mccuen@att.net].
