Join Dan Mills families for dinner at BoomBozz on Tuesday, August 20th. This spirit night is a bit different … you may dine at *anytime* on August 20th, though we hope you'll consider coming for dinner between 4:30pm and 7:00pm to enjoy community with other DMES families and let your dragons run off some steam on the attached playground!

Several food trucks will be on site, students' artwork from the current school year will be on display in the Art Show and there will be a musical performance by the 2nd grade classes.

This year we are using a mobile bidding app called Handbid for all auction bidding. Check out our spring auction page for more details!
