Frequently Asked Questions

For those who are new to our community or have never attended

one of our Spring Fundraiser events,

The Operation Capitol Hill Day School Spring Fundraiser will be held on Friday, May 2nd, starting at 6:30 pm, at Capital Turnaround located at 700 M Street, SE.

What is event attire?

Keep it casual! Although our Bond-themed event lends itself to tuxes or tails, please come dressed in something fun and festive to enjoy a night of great food, good friends, and celebrating our wonderful School.

I have dietary restrictions, what are my food options at the event?

We will have gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available at the Spring Fundraiser.  If you have any questions regarding the event menu or other dietary restrictions, please contact the Development Office at development@chds.org.

What happens at the Spring Fundraiser?

Loads of fun!  This casual, adult-only event brings our community of parents, faculty and staff, and friends together to celebrate Capitol Hill Day School with a great evening of delicious food and wonderful company.  We will have a Live Auction, featuring vacation homes, dinners and events, as well as raffle baskets and much, much more.
