PFSO President's Welcome Back Letter
Dear DHS Community, Summer just flew by and the first day of school, Thursday Aug 11th, 2022, is almost here. The DHS PFSO Board would like to welcome all of you to a wonderful school year! First, I would like to say thank you for another FANTASTIC year!! We appreciate your continued support in volunteering your time and effort at PFSO events, as well as all your monetary donations. These donations help in the organization of events, provide enrichment programs, and build school spirit. It was nice to see everyone in person last year, and together we accomplished so much:
Last year, in addition to our existing events and special funding programs, the PFSO Board updated our Bylaws, and established an Audit Committee. With your support, we successfully completed our first fundraiser of this school year - the Fireworks Fundraiser. Our second fundraiser is the A Dollar A Day campaign during registration, which is now under way. Please keep in mind that many companies match charitable contributions made by their employees, dollar for dollar, so contact your employer to ask about their corporate matching program. Also make sure to check out our other silent fundraisers Amazon smile and eScrip. PFSO is recognized by the IRS as a publicly supported 501(c)(3) organization. Tax EID # 94-3174460 all contributions are deductible to the extent allowed by the law. We look forward to seeing you at our first PFSO General Meeting on Monday August 22nd, 2022. Go Gaels!

Message from the Parent Reps of the Class of 2026 We are thrilled to be kicking off a brand new school year and our kids’ first year at Dublin High! We, Kathy Rantz, Shaheen Parkar, and Rabia Babar, your parent reps for the Class of 2026, are excited to work with you all to assist in ensuring a fun, exciting, and busy year filled with lots of great activities and events for our kids! The first big event coming up at the end of September is Homecoming Week (Sept 26-30). Lots of details surrounding that exciting event to follow, but in preparation for the big parade and the float competition between classes, we are looking for a 12’-16” foot long open-bed trailer on which the kids can build their Freshman float. If anyone has a trailer or knows of how we can get one, please contact us at classof2026@dhspfso.com. The sooner we can secure a trailer, the better! If you’re interested in donating to the PFSO: Class of 2026 account, please click here. The funds collected will allow the Class of 2026 to budget and plan for numerous class activities and fun events throughout the next four years. *Corporate Match - a friendly reminder that many employers will match donations made to non-profit organizations. Check with your employer to see if they will match your donation! Don’t forget to join our Facebook Page or follow us on Instagram:
