Dolphin Pledge Drive
The Dolphin Pledge Drive was initiated by the PTF as a means to raise a significant amount of money with minimal overhead cost and volunteer time. That is, we believe it is easier and more efficient to ask for a flat-out donation from each family than it is to ask students to sell candy, magazines, entertainment books, or other products that require manpower to organize and put an imposition on families to sell the products. Unlike the pledge, these fundraisers retain a portion of the proceeds. The Purpose of the Pledge Drive Many parents may wonder why fundraising of this caliber is even necessary and why we can’t rely upon school district funds. This would be ideal, and those funds may have been sufficient in the past, but this is simply not today’s reality. With ever-increasing school budget cuts, schools can no longer rely on city or state funding and must depend upon internal fundraising for even basic necessities. Rather than participate in small fundraisers all year long, we opt to have two major events where we ask for monetary donations (The Fall Pledge Drive and Winter Jog-a-thon) and implement other passive fundraisers where a portion of proceeds benefits the…

Holiday Bazaar
For one week every December, the Teachers’ Lounge at Dailard turns into a venue for the Holiday Bazaar, a favorite annual tradition. Students come to school with a shopping list, and parent volunteers help them browse a wide selection of gifts, pick out presents for family members and friends, wrap them up to take home, and keep within their budget. Gifts range in price from $2 to $20. If you would like to help out with the Holiday Bazaar in any way (such as setting up or staffing the event), please contact Jen Sothras.
Jog-a-thon
This popular annual event is the biggest fundraiser of the year. It helps keep our kids physically fit and our school financially fit. Funds from the Jog-a-thon go directly to support and enhance enrichment at Dailard. How It Works Kickoff Assembly — early January Raise Money — Students ask friends, family, or others to sponsor them for a flat fee to run or a donation per lap. Jog-a-thon Event — Early February Schedule — 9:00–10:00 AM: Grades K–2 run10:30–11:30 AM: Grades 3–5 run Tracking Laps — Every student is given a visor that serves as their lap marker. Each grade is assigned to a color zone where they will have their laps marked on their visors. Kindergarteners and third graders wear blue; first and fourth graders wear red; second and fifth graders wear green.Water will be provided to participants during the Jog-a-thon and orange slices will be provided to them after they run. Preparing for the Event — Students come to school wearing the color assigned to their grade. They bring with them the money they have collected from people donating flat fees. Students who collected donations per lap have until Wednesday, February 16, 2011 to turn in their money…
