Make a Difference for Douglas!

Dragonfire, our annual passive fundraiser, starts TODAY. Your support is more important than ever as we address new challenges brought on by COVID-19.

As always, 100% of every donation goes directly to the PTA to meet school needs. 

In past years, Dragonfire has funded everything from classroom smartboards to Arts, Science, Math and Literacy Nights. This year, we have already invested in teacher and staff support (including providing PPE, disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer), technology upgrades, a COVID Emergency Support Fund and more. 

Our 2020 goal is open! 

This year’s Dragonfire will look a bit different. We won’t have the Coin War between classes or prizes for the class who collects the most money, BUT we do have new ways to donate online!

Check out our Dragonfire flyer for more details, including a form to send to school if you’d rather pay by check, and corporate matching information. 

Despite the massive challenges brought on by COVID-19, our school community is stronger than ever. Your Dragonfire contribution will help us meet pressing needs AND create new opportunities for our students and staff.

It’s time to ROAR, Dragons! Let’s do this!
