Dan Mills 7th Annual Dragon Dash!

The Dan Mills PTO is excited to share that our annual Fund Run—the Dan Mills Dragon Dash on Tuesday, October 31st, 2023 was a huge success! This year, the Dragon Dash raised over $80,000 in critically-needed funds to help with improvements to our school—including a facility upgrades, playground upkeep, curriculum investments, and more.

This year’s fundraising goal was $45,000, and we have exceeded all previous Dragon Dash years in fundraising this year. We want to take another moment to THANK ALL OF OUR SPONSORS and to thank the DMES COMMUNITY for showing up to support our Dragons and our school.


Huge thank you to our 2023 sponsors
