DSST Team, 

The holiday season is just around the corner, and while celebrations will look different this year, we’re doing everything we can to keep the season bright! That’s why we’re especially excited to unveil the holiday gift options for the 20-21 year. This has been a year unlike any other, and so the gift will be a bit different too. In addition to choosing a pullover option of your choice, you will also receive a snuggly DSST branded Kelty Bestie blanket to enjoy as you safely socialize outside with your loved ones this winter. 

Simply go here to choose your gift, and be sure to select your DSST location so that we know where to deliver your gift. We expect them to be there by December 17- just in time to show them off at the virtual Holiday Party!

Numerous staff members have requested that we provide the option to forego a gift and put that money towards our school communities. While you are by no means obligated to do so, we have left that option open, and the money that would’ve been spent on the gift will be put towards the DSST Network COVID Family Relief Fund. This Fund will be leveraged in support of our students and families and will help mitigate food insecurity, pay internet bills, and more. Since its creation in April ‘20, the FRF has provided over $85,000 in assistance for the neediest members of our DSST family, and we still receive many requests. Please note that the option to put your gift towards the fund is only available for the pullover portion- everyone will be receiving a blanket. 

Please choose your gift by Wednesday, November 18 so that we can get our orders in and enjoy our gifts over the Winter Break! 

All the best, 

DSST Public Schools
