Walk for Dunning A walk around the field/track for which the students collect sponsors
Students may collect pledges…we set a small goal ($5.00) each with 100% of the money collected donated into the PE program.
Hold it during Physical Fitness week on Annual Walk to School Day
Encourage parents to come walk with their children and sign the Fitness Pledge
Have a large banner with a Fitness Pledge for students and parents to sign
Invite a kid-oriented fitness program (ie. Itty Bitty Yoga) to come to an ‘opening ceremony’ type of assembly and get the kids pumped up
Collect gently used shoes for Souls4Shoes – they provide the collection box and have a drop off location in Natick so we wouldn’t have to ship

To inform/educate parents on the importance of the fundraising the PTO does.
To increase awareness that we truly do welcome everyone!

This is a closed group meaning you must be approved by an administrator in order to join. ONLY Dunning parents, guardians or caregivers will be granted admission to the group. We will post info on upcoming events and opportunities, calendar dates, and more. We will also have the ability to send out emails to the entire group…so if something urgent comes up this is one way we can reach out and contact parents.
