We'll meet in the Dealey Garden located on the east side of the school between the 1-3 and 4-5 hallways to spruce up the garden. We’ll be weeding the overgrown beds, spreading wood chips and more. If you have garden gloves, a pitch fork and/or a hand tiller, please bring them along. If you have room to bring a wheelbarrow, please do! We will also have tools available to use. Breakfast snacks will be provided as will sulphur socks to repel chiggers and sunscreen. Please bring a water bottle. Please wear long pants and use bug spray to deter chiggers. The garden work is best suited for adults and students in 4th grade or above. Younger children are more than welcome to help out with parent supervision. Service hour sheets will be signed! Come and go as your schedule permits. Please contact Andrea Montillo at andreamontillo.com for more information.
Dallas police have been patrolling during carpool hours this past week. Please remember that when driving south on Edgemere, turning left onto Royal Lane is against city ordinance during school drop off and pick up hours. Police are enforcing this rule and will issue citations. ⚠️
Dealey parents, we need your photos and videos to help make our Auction dinner slideshow shine! ✨ Please upload your favorite snapshots and clips from this year to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox link below. We will be collecting them over the next few months. If your submission includes other children, just check with their parents first. Don’t worry—these will only appear in the slideshow and not on public webpages. Let’s celebrate our kids and make this year’s Auction extra fun! 🎉
This program was a huge hit last year. It’s simple: if a student eats a veggie at lunch, they get a ticket, and at the end of lunch I draw a winner for a prize. Kids loved it and it really encouraged healthy habits.
Here’s the challenge: PreK-3 usually had enough volunteer support, but grades 4-8 were very tough to cover. Without help in those grades, I may only be able to continue the program for the younger kids. If you have kids in grades 4-8, please consider signing up to help. Even one lunch makes a big difference.
Dates are posted through the end of the year, so if you can’t volunteer this month, take a look at the upcoming ones. The more coverage we have, the longer we can keep Veggie Star running for everyone.
Dealey’s annual Fall Festival will be held on Friday, November 8th, and we need your help to make it a success!
This beloved tradition brings our community together to celebrate, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing volunteers. There are a variety of fun stations that need helping hands, and we’d love for you to be part of making this year’s festival joyful and memorable for our kids.
For questions, please reach out to Jaclyn Kitchens at 1stvp@dealeypta.org.
Dear families,
We’re thrilled to share that we’re heading to London and Paris in Summer 2027, and we’d love for your student to join us!
This is an incredible opportunity for students to explore new places, experience different cultures, and gain lifelong skills like independence and confidence. I’ll be sharing all the details, including what we’ll see and do, hands-on learning activities, academic opportunities, trip costs, and how to secure a spot at our informational meeting.
Enrollment is open—spots are limited, and I would love to help you secure this experience for your child!
In the meantime, please visit EF’s website to get answers to common parent questions. EF Tours is our trusted travel partner, and they have 60 years of experience helping students explore the world safely and affordably.
I hope to see you there and look forward to sharing how this trip can be a powerful and unforgettable chapter in your child’s life!
Best,
John Davidson
