Honoring S
tudent Achievement in Theatre
The Dallastown Performing Arts Club (DPAC) International Thespian Society Troupe 7973 was recently awarded Silver Honors at the 2017 PA Thespian Conference.
Students learned new skills by attending workshops hosted by theater professionals, then demonstrated excellence in performance and technical challenges.
Seniors Sydney Phillips and Zoey Bruton were inducted into the Hall of Fame for performance and stage management, respectively. The crowning moment of the event was DPAC's performance of the last 30 minutes of The Diary of Anne Frank for an audience of more than 1,000. Freshman Tyler Klinedinst was then recognized on the main stage during closing ceremonies as the Performance MVP--bravo!

Student Blood Drive
Blood is the most precious gift that anyone could give another person--a gift of life. Donating blood can save more than just a single life when it is separated into its components: red cells, platelets, and plasma, which can be used by up to three patients with specific conditions.
On Thursday, December 21st, a student blood drive will be held at Dallastown Area High School. Coordinated by high school seniors Gabby Ream and Madison Freed along with Anatomy & Physiology teacher Tad Gould, the drive will be administered by the Central Penn Blood Bank. Be a donor and help the high school students reach their goal of 100 donated units.
