All 8th graders are invited to attend a dance the evening of Saturday, May 19th, sponsored by the Fallon PFC. The dance will be held at the Dublin High School student union.

The theme for this elegant evening is "The Great Gatsby," and invitations (along with permission slips) will be distributed at school at the beginning of March.
8th Grade Year-End Field Trip
On Tuesday, May 29th, our 8th graders are invited to participate in an optional field trip to The Wave water park in Dublin. Next week, students will receive a letter with field trip details.

A final permission slip for this field trip will go out on May 1st and be due back to Mrs. Armanuse no later than May 11th. Students who fail to return the required paperwork by the deadline may be excluded from the trip.

The culmination of our year-end events for 8th graders is the 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony. This year the promotion ceremony will be held on Friday, June 1st, at 2:30 p.m. at Dublin High School Gaels Stadium. Since June 1st is a minimum day, 8th-grade students will be released at 12:30 p.m. from Fallon and will be expected to report to the Dublin High School Sports Complex at 2:00 p.m. to prepare for the ceremony. The ceremony will last approximately one hour, and students will be dismissed to celebrate with their parents and family at 3:30 p.m. There will be plenty of parking and seating for family members, and additional details will be provided as we get closer to this date.
