Students enjoyed the presentation by DCD alumna Lucy Hurlock '08 and her four-legged friend Melvin, who visited DCD on Thursday morning to teach students about wildlife rehabilitation. The children loved hearing about her experience with local animals as well as with endangered species in South Africa. Click here to see more pictures on Vidigami.

Heads for the Day Declare a Special Day on Monday!
Alyssa McGuirl and Audrey Volpe will be Heads for a Day on Monday, May 21. Students are allowed to dress down, and can wear PJs or a costume. Students will be served watermelon as they exit their cars in the morning and there will be music playing outside at arrival. Eighth graders will lead a dance at the conclusion of morning assembly. There will be no homework for middle school students, and primary school students can make their own homework assignments. Lunch will feature macaroni and cheese for primary and lower school students and tortellini for middle schoolers. Gum will be allowed in middle school only. It should be a great day!
