The Dolphin Dash is similar to a Fun Run or Jog-a-thon to support underfunded programs like art and PE. We’re asking families, friends, and neighbors to support students with a one-time donation and encouragement to do their best in the event. We are challenging students to complete 1,500 laps for the whole school.
Simply go to https://app.99pledges.com/fund/arletadolpindash and enter your student’s first name in the ‘search for participant’ field to make a donation for whatever you can. Please share your student's link with friends and family.
We are shooting for 100% participation. No amount is too small.
Thanks to donations from our school community, the PTA was able to approve nearly $4,000 for staff grants this year. This is one of the great ways the PTA is able to support our school community! Each year the PTA ask staff to submit grant requests for supplies, materials and activities that enrich our students' school experience.
We are looking for 2-3 volunteers each day from 10:45am to 12:30pm to help monitor the playground and assist in the lunch room. This is a fun way to get to know the students and staff!
Volunteers need to have passed a PPS background check and be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Visit the PPS website to start your application and screening process. (Once approved, your application is good for three years).

Reviews can play an important part when deciding to try a new restaurant or making an online purchase. The same goes for choosing a school for our kids. Parents and caregivers who are researching where to send their child to school pay attention to what others say about their experience.
You can help shine a positive light on Arleta by writing a review on the Great Schools website.
