Back to Class Bash is the DPS Foundation’s celebratory back-to-school fundraiser event that gives corporate and community members alike a chance to join together to show our students and educators we stand behind them as they embark on a new school year. Many thanks to all volunteers who joined us on Friday, August 9, 2024 at three different schools: Ashley Elementary, Doull Elementary & Wyatt Academy! This year’s event featured three DPS students from Lake Middle School’s Denver DJ School to provide entertainment for our volunteers!
