Jogathon is DMSEF’s most important fundraiser of the year. It is also one of the most fun community events at our schools. We invite students to ask their family and friends to help raise funds for 9.7 full-time STEAM+ teachers in our school district, and have fun in the process by celebrating and running for an expanded STEAM+ program.
