DES gets a 50,000 grant from Casey's for the Media Center!

DES gives a big thank you to @caseys! #HereForGood!

We are so proud to receive a 2024 Casey’s Cash for Classrooms grant! These funds will help us renovate and completely transform our DeMotte Elementary School library to help our students and teachers for many years to come. Thanks, @caseys! #HereForGood

 

For more information on Casey’s Cash for Classrooms grant program, visit: www.caseys.com/community/cash-for-classrooms-grants. The 2025 grant program will open in the fall.

 

In addition to the grant program, Casey's guests can support schools year-round by directing their Casey's Rewards points toward a donation to their school of choice. Sign up for Casey's Rewards here.
