If you donate $30, the approximate profit from selling 5 items of cookie dough, and complete the form below by 9/21, your child will be able to draw a plush tiger.
*Please note if your family chooses to give a cash donation and not sell cookie dough, the ONLY prize available for your child is the plush tiger with money. The other awards are from the entertainment book company for selling of cookie dough.
** Please make checks payable to Dublin PTA and include child’s name and teacher on the check.

Watch Dogs and Lunch Moms
We are looking for Dads to help at school each day. Last year we began our Watch Dogs Program for dads. Watch Dogs is a program in which we involve dads at school. We are asking that Dublin Dads volunteer one whole day or half day this year. If you can volunteer more days, that's GREAT! When you volunteer, you will be involved in AM and PM Dismissal, lunch, recess, and also help in your child's classroom and other classrooms. We really need your help!

Students need help opening items in their lunches, transitioning in the lunch line, moving lunches from the hallway into the cafeteria, help with cleaning up, etc. You can volunteer one time or many times.
