Become a D51F Ambassador

Join other parents and community leaders to spread the word about the Foundation. The role of an Ambassador is so important to our work.  Ambassadors share brochures, represent the D51F at Back to School Nights and PTA or SAC meetings, work on committees, and generally help people understand more about our programs and fundraising efforts. We meet for one hour just  twice a year, in January and in July.
