DENVER Every single day hundreds of cars drive through the intersection of Eighth Avenue and Downing Street in Denver. Every day, drivers see banners put up by parents to raise money for the Dora Moore ECE-8 school. We can t really go to our parents and ask for a lot of donations, so this is our primary donation, parent Trisha Ntalianis said.
Ntalianis is a member of the Dora Moore Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and runs the Banner Program for the school. She sells prime advertising space to local businesses to raise money for classroom expenses. The busy intersection of Eighth and Downing is at the southeast corner of the school property.
