Fundraising
Fundraising is done around the year at DCMST by the different grade levels. Each grade level has their own pot of funds to hold events with and to add to with their own fundraising initiatives. Some fundraising techniques that have been used include bake sales, t-shirt sales, cosmic bowling, penny wars, and the open gym/movie night.
It has also become tradition for the junior class to be responsible for the different aspects of the Senior Honor Ceremony. This responsibility includes members of the junior class funding and/or donating materials to cover aspects such as refreshments after the ceremony and the décor for the evening and actually working at the ceremony (e.g. set-up, serving refreshments, clean-up).
Grants and scholarships are another source of funds for all of DCMST as the grant money helps to pay for or lower the costs for the students for things such as field trips.
