The Multilingual Learner Parent Advisory Council (MLPAC) is excited to invite you to our Multicultural Café at Kickstand Café.
When: Every other week
June meetings: Friday, June 5th, and Thursday, June 18th
Time: 8:30–9:30 AM
Where: Kickstand Café (we'll be sitting outside if the weather is nice!)
These will be our last cafés of the school year—we'll be back in September!
Whether you're a caregiver of a multilingual learner or part of the local community interested in supporting families who have moved from abroad, this is a great opportunity to meet others, share experiences, and make meaningful connections.
Drinks and food are available for purchase, but ordering is optional.
Come for the coffee, stay for the conversation—we'd love to see you there!

Dear Dallin School Community,
Thank you for attending Dallin’s Art Night last Thursday, May 14th! Even though it was pouring rain, we had a great turnout to view our artists' work! This wonderful event showcasing Dallin artists wouldn’t be possible without you all!
Special thanks to all the homeroom teachers who hosted artwork on their bulletin boards for the event, and to all the folks who helped hang and label artwork.
Our art evening was a great success full of proud artists and families!
With Sincere Gratitude,
Stacie Greenland
