🐉🥩 DRAGON FAMILIES, LET’S KICK OFF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH A STEAK! 🥩🐉

Before we head back to school, let’s gather around the table (or the takeout window! 😉) and support our De Soto Primary and De Soto Intermediate Dragons!

📅 Thursday, August 13
⏰ 3:00–10:00 PM
📍 Texas Roadhouse – Festus
🥩 And it just happens to be National Filet Mignon Day! 🎉

Whether you’re celebrating with a family dinner, grabbing takeout on your way home, or just craving a good steak, a portion of your purchase will benefit our schools! 💚🖤🤍

👉 IMPORTANT: You MUST show the fundraiser flyer when you order for your purchase to count toward the fundraiser. The flyer is available right here on our page, and the schools will also be communicating digitally to families.

So grab your Dragon crew, bring your appetite, and help us kick off the 2026–27 school year by supporting our students and schools! 🐉💚

We’ll see you at Texas Roadhouse! 🥩🍽️

Dine. Support. Repeat. GO DRAGONS! 🐉

Sometimes professional development looks a little different than expected!
The Primary staff put in a full day’s work participating in activities that not only challenged them, but allowed them to learn about one another on a different level. This Primary team is ready for a great year!
