Peace on Earth
Dallastown Area High School's Volunteer Club extends a
Wildcat Thank You to students, staff, and the Dallastown community for its support of the
2016 Remember the Troops drive.
More than 150 large boxes of food, gifts, and personal care items were shipped to those serving our country far from home during the upcoming holiday season. All expenses were covered by generous donations from students, staff, the Dallastown community, and Postal Connections.
High school health & physical education teacher/Volunteer Club advisor Pat McKinney stated, "This project has far outgrown the hallways and classrooms of our district. It brings joy to my heart to see the outreach from the entire Dallastown School District community."
