Outdoor Science Camp
A full week away where students learn, grow and build memories together. Fundraising lowers the cost for every family.
We want every 6th grader to go. If cost is a concern for your family, reach out privately to the 6th Grade Chair. All conversations stay confidential.

Get cleared to volunteer
LAUSD requires Tier II clearance to volunteer on campus during school hours. Start early since it can take a couple of weeks.
- Apply online
Complete the LAUSD volunteer application at volunteerapp.lausd.net. Returning volunteers can log in and resubmit.
- Complete TB screening
Have the TB screening form completed and stamped by a physician or urgent care clinic. Depending on your answers, a skin test may be required, which means a return visit a few days later.
- Drop off at the front office
Bring your completed form to the Delevan front office. Staff will process it and clear your application.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what families ask most.
Where does the money go?
Every dollar goes to the Delevan 6th grade fund. At least 90% of all funds go toward Outdoor Science Camp, and a small portion may also help support other 6th grade milestones like the dance, picnic, scavenger hunt and culmination.
What if we don't hit $39,000?
Every dollar we raise lowers the cost of Outdoor Science Camp for everyone. Nothing goes to waste, and whatever we raise goes straight to our kids this year.
What if Outdoor Science Camp is a stretch for our family?
I want every 6th grader to go. Reach out to me directly, and our conversation stays private.
What is Cheddar Up?
It's a secure online platform schools and PTAs use to collect donations and payments, similar to GoFundMe. Every dollar goes straight to our 6th grade fund, and it's easy to share with grandparents and extended family. Visit our Cheddar Up page.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Donations made directly to the Delevan Drive Elementary PTA are tax deductible. Write a check payable to Delevan Drive Elementary PTA, put "6th Grade Fund" on the memo line and let the 6th Grade Chair, Sunti Chareunsy, know by email, phone at 562-706-3101 or WhatsApp so it's credited to our class. Donations made through Cheddar Up are not tax deductible.
I'm short on time. How else can I help?
We know everyone is busy, and every contribution counts. Donate food or drinks for our concession stands, give any amount on Cheddar Up, send supplies from our Amazon Wishlist or introduce us to a local business. Cheddar Up is also easy to share with grandparents and extended family.
How can I help with Harvest Fest?
Harvest Fest on October 30 is our biggest fundraising night, and our target is $4,000. Sign up for a short shift or a donation on SignUpGenius. If you're donating food, please drop it off the day of since we don't have storage on campus.
What does a team lead or event lead do?
Team leads own one area for the year, like merch, recycling or concessions. Event leads partner with me on one event, from planning through the day itself. You don't need experience. I'll share last year's chair manual with every lead, and co-leads are welcome if you're short on time.
Do I need clearance to volunteer?
If you'll be on campus before 2:15 PM, you need LAUSD Tier II clearance and a TB screening. After 2:15 PM, you don't. The steps are on the Get Involved tab, and it takes time, so start early.
How do I get updates?
Join our 6th grade WhatsApp group. All updates, requests and reminders go there, and I keep messages focused so it doesn't get noisy. Please add your student's name to your member tag so we know who you are. Missed a meeting? Slides, notes and recordings are on the Meeting Recaps tab.
