DDMES PTA
Dillard Drive Center for Global Studies and Spanish Immersion Magnet Elementary School PTA's organization is composed of parents, guardians, community members, and teachers. We support our students and teachers through fundraising and school projects.
Through our fundraising efforts, we will be able to provide new and improved technology, resources for the media center, supplies for teachers, school campus improvements, and much more for our kiddos. In addition to the resources, we plan special events for the students and keep parents informed about school happenings and district policies through newsletters, member hub social media, and our website.
