During the recent board meeting for the Dallastown Area School District, a presentation highlighted the vibrant activities at Ore Valley Elementary and Dylestone High School, showcasing the schools' commitment to engaging students and fostering community spirit.
Ore Valley Elementary kicked off the school year with its beloved Fall Fest on September 21st, featuring a variety of activities such as food, games, and a pumpkin contest. The event also included inflatable bumper cars, a rock wall, bounce houses, a train, and a dunk tank, providing an exhilarating experience for students.
In addition to Fall Fest, Ore Valley's Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) hosted its annual book fair from October 7th to October 11th, generating approximately $7,389 in sales. The fair not only offered students the chance to purchase new books but also included fun toys, further enriching their educational experience. On October 7th, the school held a CARES assembly to recognize the September students of the month, who were honored for demonstrating exemplary behavior and embodying the school's CARES traits.
Meanwhile, Dylestone High School celebrated its annual homecoming festivities from September 23rd to September 29th. The week featured spirited dress-up days organized by the student council, including themes like \"team beach movie day\" and \"pajama day,\" culminating in a pep rally on September 27th. This new tradition allowed students to earn points for their classes while participating in fun activities, including the introduction of the homecoming court.
Although the traditional powder puff game was postponed to October 21st, the homecoming week was filled with excitement, leading up to the homecoming football game against Central York. During the game, members of the homecoming court were presented, and the crowning of the king and queen took place at halftime.
The homecoming dance, which followed the football game, saw significant preparation from student council members and a decorating company, ensuring a memorable experience for the approximately 1,200 attendees, including 100 guests from outside the district. This event marked a successful conclusion to a week of spirited activities, reinforcing the strong sense of community within the Dallastown Area School District.
