Our sincerest thank you to everyone that supported the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk on Sunday - students, parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators, neighbors and iguanas! We had an amazing turning out and when the community comes together, everyone wins!
We are proud of our PVPUSD schools and committed to providing the highest quality education to all of our children. We are grateful for your willingness to keep our schools the best in the nation! PTA Membership Drive Update
The Dapplegray PTA would like to thank all of the parents, teachers, and staff who have graciously donated to the PTA this year so far. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful community that keeps Dapplegray Strong! The donations pay for programs such as Reflections, Multicultural Day, Red and Yellow Ribbon, Arts Alive, teacher appreciation, and much more. It is because of all of you that we are able to provide these programs to our children at Dapplegray!
Last year, we had 661 PTA members at Dapplegray. This year, the district wanted to increase membership by 2%, so our goal was 674 memberships. I'm happy to report that we met our goal! So again, THANK YOU!! We love our school and all the families and teachers that support it!! .jpg) Dapplegray Fifth graders had a blast at Astrocamp last week, where they enjoyed hands-on classes in Electricity and Magnetism, Lights and Lasers, Atmosphere and Gases, and Engineering. They also saw Saturn and Mars through a telescope, and rode the famous Astrocamp Zipline and Skycoaster. Thanks to the 5th grade teachers and PTA for organizing, and to the Booster Club for funding the buses and teachers.  .jpg) DONATE YOUR EXTRA HALLOWEEN CANDY TO THE TROOPS!
