At Discovery School, collaboration and creativity go hand in hand, and our recent milk drive—organized by the incredible Discovery Parent Teacher Organization (DPTO)—was a shining example of this spirit in action. What started as a simple initiative turned into a multifaceted success story, uniting our school community for a greater purpose.
Here is a video about the milk drive:
A Creative STEAM Challenge for Our Seniors
The milk drive wasn’t just about cartons; it was about turning an everyday item into an extraordinary project. Our seniors used the donated milk cartons to conceptualize, design, and build a giant domino chain! This STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) challenge required precise calculations, teamwork, and an artistic touch to craft a creative, functional design. The result? An innovative demonstration of applied learning and problem-solving that left us all in awe.
Supporting a Cause Beyond the Classroom
This drive wasn’t just an educational experiment; it was also a fundraiser. Every carton purchased brought us closer to our fundraising goals, proving once again that small contributions can have a big impact. And thanks to the generosity of our families, staff, and supporters, we not only met but exceeded our goal of 1,000 cartons.
Giving Back to the Community
The highlight of the drive? A heartwarming act of kindness. The DPTO will be donating 345 milk cartons to each of these three remarkable charity organizations:
Hogar de Ancianos "Salvador Aguirre"
Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH)
CEPUDO
These donations will provide nourishment and support to children, the elderly, and families in need—spreading the ripple effect of kindness far beyond our campus.
A Special Thank You
We couldn’t have done this alone. A special thanks goes to Leche Leyde, whose partnership played a pivotal role in making this initiative a resounding success. Their support reinforced the power of collaboration between local businesses and our school community.
This milk drive was more than just a project; it was a testament to the strength of what we can achieve when we work together. To everyone who participated, donated, or supported in any way—thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. Together, we’ve shown that Discovery School truly embodies the values of creativity, collaboration, and compassion.
