Dallin PTO

Welcome to the PTO!

By having a child at the Dallin School, you are automatically a member of the Dallin Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)! The Dallin PTO’s primary goals are to:

  •  Provide enrichment opportunities that supplement the curriculum
  •  Sponsor community building events for Dallin families
  •  Fund raise to support our students, school, and classroom needs

Volunteer Opportunities

Dallin PTO has volunteer opportunities that will work for you, whether you want to do hands-on organizing of an event or stay behind the scenes sending some emails – you’re encouraged to volunteer to your comfort level! Please see our sign up for volunteer opportunities.

Stay Informed

To stay up to date on Dallin news, you can subscribe to our e-mail lists and newsletter or follow us on Facebook and Twitter. More information is available here.

PTO Meetings

We meet the fourth Thursdays of the month September through May either in the mornings (8:15 a.m.) or evenings (7 p.m.). Meeting times and agendas are sent out in advance.

  • “You Spin You Win” Cupcakes
  • Cake Walk

  • Face Painting
  • Tattoo Parlor
  • Dunk Tank
  • Pizza, Beverages, and Richie’s Slush for Sale

What can you do? We need Volunteers to work the activities, all are fun and easy to do, please give us some of your time to make the picnic a success. You can sign up online. You can also consider donating cakes or cupcakes, to help make this the most successful End of Year Picnic yet!

All activities will be provided for a nominal charge for each activity. Cash is preferred – small bills if possible.  We will have a central ticket area, where you can purchase all of your tickets for these activities.

The proceeds from our annual picnic go to the Dallin ASSIST (A Simple Solution in Stressful Times) fund that helps our own Dallin families in need during tough times.

So, grab a blanket, bring a picnic and come down to Dallin on June 8th for a great night of fun with the Dallin community! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Upcoming Parent Forum

Do you dread talking to your kids about “the birds and the bees”? Come listen to professional health educators from Planned Parenthood relay their tips and tricks for talking to your kids about this sensitive subject. Topics will include:

  • how to clarify your/your family’s values
  • what to do when your child asks a question out of the blue
  • factual information to refresh our (the adults) knowledge on how the human body works!

We hope you will join us on Tuesday May 15 at 7:00pm here at Dallin for an informative discussion. Babysitting will be available!

Dallin Auction This Week!

This is just a reminder that the Dallin Spring Auction: Planting Seeds for Blooming Hearts & Minds, will be held this coming Friday, the 27th at the Town Hall.  It promises to be a fantastic night and we hope that all of you will join us as we celebrate the great teaching and learning that happens at the Dallin School.  All proceeds from the event support our teachers and students.

Tickets:  Ticket prices are now $30 each.  Please reach out to Mr. Dingman by Wednesday if you would like to come but the ticket price creates a hardship.  You can still submit a paper ticket form to the main office or buy tickets online at: charityauction.bid/DallinSpringAuction.  Tickets are not sold at the door.  They are on sale until noon on Friday.

Please consider volunteering during this week or at the event:  We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider volunteering to help for a shift during this week or throughout the day and/or evening on Friday, the 27th.  If you have a bit of time to spare, please check out the signup genius at:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b084aaaa92ba64-planting

Everyone on the Planning Committee has worked hard since November to create a magical evening for our community.  We look forward to seeing you there.

Best,

Auction Planning Committee
