Welcome
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!The DASH PTSA is excited to welcome back returning families and welcome new families to DASH. We hope you all had a restful summer enjoying time with family and friends! We have an active school year ahead of us starting with the planning of our annual fund raiser, Taste of Design. Our first “official” planning meeting is on Wednesday, August 30 at 7:45am in the Teacher’s Lounge. Taste of Design is our main fund raiser for DASH and takes place in late November. Money raised at this event helps send sophomores and juniors to precollege courses in NYC, purchase items for classrooms, assist needy students and support over 40 activities and events throughout the school year. We need as many volunteer’s as possible to make this a success, so please join us next week and sign up to help on one or more of these committees • Silent Auction – collecting, organizing & inputting items We look forward to seeing old and new faces next week and to a successful DASH school year. Sincerely, Melanie Nieves |
