Message from the Principal |
|
Dear DHS Staff, Students, and Families,
November is National Gratitude Month, a time to celebrate and give thanks. Hosting School Chest during November seems to be fitting, as we spend three weeks focusing on giving to others in such a meaningful way. Research shows that gratitude is part of the psychological foundation that prompts us to “give back” in many ways. It encourages us to return favors to our friends, neighbors, and family members. And gratitude inspires us to help others in society as a whole. I am genuinely grateful to our School Chest student committee and sponsors for organizing daily opportunities for us to generously give to others. Whether you purchase food at lunch, buy Paws for Patrick apparel, or volunteer your time to support an event - you are making a difference. Check out ways to get involved below!
Sincerely,
Principal Kathryn Anderson

Congratulations to Ryan Segal and Joya Weissman, 2 of 45 students from 25 different schools, who were selected to compete against each other in Art Throwdown Illustration Challenge through ArtConnectED.
The Art Throwdown is a live, fast-paced, head-to-head, interscholastic Visual Arts competition where students will be given a timed Art Challenge. Art students were asked to put their artistic skills to the test while competing against other area high school art students. Each artist was faced with a hands-on, 90-minute, visually creative challenge. Congratulations to both Ryan and Joya!
