Dalton School takes action over dirty dogs
Parents and children from Dalton School have been working with Kirklees officials to tackle the problem of dog fowling in the area.
The scheme, which has seen the placing of 18 poop scoop dispensers in the area, is to let the dog fouling offenders know that they are being observed and they will be reported if they fail to clean up after their pets.
Parents say they are fed up with encountering dog fouling on a daily basis and they are being pro-active in helping to resolve this.
Mrs Gillian Lindop said: “I am very impressed how parents have taken on the responsibility of helping the community by being vigilant and restocking the dispensers.
Former Dalton School pupil returns to talk about torch bearer experience
Former Dalton School pupil Mehreen Akhtar has returned to talk about her experience of Olympic glory.
Mehreen, who was a pupil in the visual impairment unit at Dalton School from age three to 11, returned as a guest at a special assembly on the Olympics.
The pupils in the unit presented facts about the Olympics, dressed in ancient robes and reenacted the torch-lighting ceremony. Mehreen spoke to the whole school about being chosen as torch bearer and showed everyone her tracksuit.
She took part in the run near Tadcaster on June 19. Her dad ran with her. Kay Shanahan, teacher in charge of the unit at Dalton said: “Mehreen is a super role model for her fellow pupils with a visual impairment.
“She is an inspiration to all.”
