A greener playground
Fewer tiles, more green and wood. The children help design it. With their design we apply for funding from the city and the water board.

Together we give the Dongeschool a little extra
We are parents at the Dongeschool. With voluntary gifts from parents, we pay for extra things for all children: things the school cannot pay for from its normal budget.
Our goal for school year 2026–2027

Why this foundation?
At the Dongeschool, children learn with joy and grow with confidence. Wonder and creativity are part of that. Money from the government is mostly for regular lessons. There is often no room for extras – like music, art, school trips or something nice for the playground.
That is why parents started this foundation. Together we make more things possible, for every child at the school.

Giving is always voluntary. The school does not know who gives and who does not. All children join in with what we pay for, whether their parents give or not.
What we make possible
All projects →Arts lessons every week
Every class gets lessons in theatre, singing, dance or visual arts from the arts teachers of DONS. Children discover new talents.
