Dolphin Pledge Drive
Dailard’s annual Dolphin Pledge Drive raises money to supplement city, state and district funds, helping provide enriching materials, technology and programs that would not be possible without your contributions.
The 2026 Pledge Drive will run from August 30 – October 7.
D.A.D.S. Campout
The annual D.A.D.S. Campout is almost here and registration is open. If you’re planning on joining us, please register so that we can get an idea of how much food we will need. If you would like to order a Campout T-Shirt, preorders will close on October 5th.
The 2026 event kicks off on 10/17 at 4pm on the Dailard Elementary Upper Field.
Fall Festival
Get ready for a family-friendly night to do your favorite costume and enjoy endless scares with your fellow Dailard community. We’ll welcome the season with an obstacle course, petting zoo, yummy treats, games and much more. Don’t miss the “spooky library” walk-through, where the 5th graders transform the library into a haunted experience.
Get into the spirit of Halloween for a SPOOKTACULAR time on 9/24
