DSA PTSA ANNUAL Campaign
WE NEED YOU FAMILIES
OUR ASK:
Rather than host multiple fundraisers throughout the year, we do one annual campaign. This year our campaign goal is to raise $20,000. If each family made a gift of $25 we could easily exceed our goal! (You of course can give more.)
NO amount is too small, as anything we raise directly benefits the students of DSA. I hope you will consider making a donation to help to ensure current and future students have a great experience at DSA. There are two ways to make your tax deductible donation:
·
Donations to the PTSA are tax deductible and help fund projects and events all year long.

About Us
DSA is an active and dynamic center for arts and academic education. School life at DSA is based on our shared culture of success and an emphasis on tolerance, diversity, personal responsibility, and respect for individual differences.
We are a school like no other. Durham School of the Arts (DSA) is a magnet school founded on the premise of providing our students with an education focused on excellence in the visual and performing arts and rigorous academics. We believe that since our students are both participants and consumers of the arts, they will be better educated and more informed citizens. As a result, we expect our students to be the leaders and intellectuals of tomorrow.
DSA partners with top tier institutions, such as the Durham Performing Arts Center, Duke University and the American Dance Festival, to expose our students to high-caliber guest artists who provide workshops and master classes.
