Remember the Troops 2019
During the past 18 years, the Dallastown Area High School Volunteer Club has sent items to members of the military stationed away from home during the holidays. This year the tradition continues.
A list of soldiers is currently being compiled by Shannon Werner, Volunteer Club advisor in the high school. If you know of a soldier who will be serving our country overseas during the holiday season, please send his/her name and address to
shannon.werner@dallastown.net
by Friday, October 11th.
Classes are asked to write letters and collect food items (a list will be sent to all who would like to participate) during the month of October. All items need to be ready for pick up from your schools by Wednesday, October 30th, and will be shipped the beginning of November.
The hope is that all of the soldiers on our list remember 2019 with a smile, thanks to the sincerity and generosity of the Dallastown Area School District community. Please partner with us again to
Remember the Troops.

Asbestos Notice
Dallastown Area School District has developed an Asbestos Management Plan as required by the
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA).
Every six months the maintenance department inspects, and every three years an inspection is conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry's licensed asbestos inspectors, any building constructed before the late 1970s to determine whether the condition of any known or assumed asbestos-containing materials (ACM) has changed. The inspector will make recommendations on managing or removing the ACM.
The Asbestos Management Plan is available for public review in the Buildings and Grounds Office.
