Celebrating Mr. Fuller, June 4th!

5/29/2026 5:48 am

From the 5/26 Dallin Principal Memo:

As we hope everyone has heard, our wonderful recess supervisor, Peter Fuller, will be retiring at the end of this school year after many years of caring for and supporting Dallin students.

Peter has built incredible relationships with generations of children and families through his warmth, humor, and steady presence outside each day. He has truly been one of those people who helped make Dallin feel like Dallin.

We will be hosting a small retirement send-off for Peter on Thursday, June 4 at 2:45 PM on the blacktop area outside the cafeteria (rain or shine). There will be treats, and we will share a few words in honor of Peter and all he has meant to our school community.

All are welcome. I know it would mean a great deal to Peter to see families able to stop by and celebrate with him.

Volunteers needed for Dallin Field Day, Weds June 3

5/29/2026 5:45 am

DALLIN FIELD DAY IS WEDNESDAY JUNE 3

WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS!!

It’s fun! It’s easy! When you volunteer at a game, you are generally supervising the game play and you read the instructions given to you. Time commitment is from 8:30am - 10:30am. Easy Peasy and you get to be around a whole bunch of really fun kids! These are the games we need volunteers for:

Sponge Bucket Relay

Parachute

Rock Paper Scissors Tag

Limbo (2 volunteers)

Dallin Field Run (you don’t have to run)

ALL volunteers MUST be CORI certified and there’s still time to make it happen! 

Please see Ms. Burns in the Dallin main office for help with this, or email us with questions. This process can take a few weeks so if you’re considering volunteering, please check with Mrs. Burns to see if you need a CORI and/or if your CORI is still valid. If you do not have a valid CORI, unfortunately you will not be able to volunteer at Field Day. Thank you!

Art Night Thanks

5/22/2026 6:00 am

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
