Remember the Troops 2019
During the past 18 years, the Dallastown Area High School Volunteer Club has sent items to members of the military stationed away from home during the holidays. This year the tradition continues.
A list of soldiers is currently being compiled by Shannon Werner, Volunteer Club advisor in the high school. If you know of a soldier who will be serving our country overseas during the holiday season, please send his/her name and address to
[email protected]
by Friday, October 11th.
Classes are asked to write letters and collect food items (a list will be sent to all who would like to participate) during the month of October. All items need to be ready for pick up from your schools by Wednesday, October 30th, and will be shipped the beginning of November.
The hope is that all of the soldiers on our list remember 2019 with a smile, thanks to the sincerity and generosity of the Dallastown Area School District community. Please partner with us again to
Remember the Troops.
