Welcome to The Den & Cougar Care Closet
supporting our desert cove family
cougar den: (n.) a temporary sheltered spot like a rocky crevice which a cougar uses for resting, for seeking shelter from weather, and for raising young
The Desert Cove PTO is proud to assist our social work team and Desert Cove community by supporting "The Den" and "Care Closet" projects. Our goal is to walk along side students and families when they need a little extra support. When students' basic needs are met they perform better in school. We look forward to helping Desert Cove families to help each other meet those needs.
Please see the lists below for ways you can donate and support our fellow cougar families. Items can be dropped off at the Front Office (please let them know it is for The Den or Care Closet).
If you or a family you know at Desert Cove could use support, please click the link to contact our school social worker who can connect you with the items on our list or any other support we can offer you and your student. You may use this link if you have other questions about the program.
