Message from the Principal

Dear DHS Staff, Students, and Families, Happy Wednesday! This newsletter is coming a day early as a result of tomorrow's non-attendance day for Veterans Day. In observance of Veterans Day, please join me in honoring the 18 million veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces - including DHS staff, parents/guardians, family, and friends. For those of you reading who have served, please accept my appreciation and gratitude for your service. Looking ahead to next week, we'll be entering week 3 of School Chest! If you haven't had an opportunity to get involved yet, there is still time to participate. Take a look at the many options below. Sincerely, Principal Kathryn Anderson
