From Key Club DCHS (Facebook):

Merry merry Christmas from our club!! Last Thursday we had our Christmas Party organized by Ava Sanders, Maggie Bellamy, Ivy Newlon, and myself, Peyton Boling. This was such a fun party with everything that was planned. Big thank you to @chickfilawmarket for their generous donation of chicken nuggets. I unfortunately didn’t get any pictures of us stuffing our faces with them, but just know that we thoroughly enjoyed it! Also, we had some surprise visits from last year’s president, Sophie and Nibbles! So good to see them both!!! Merry Christmas!!

Good food, great company, and even better memories! Our FFA officer team Christmas party was filled with laughs, fun games, and a little Secret Santa magic. Grateful for this amazing crew! #FFA #blueandgold #happyholdidays

Dr. Davis takes as much as she can from media spotlights and Facebook, but she can't get it all without your help.

Please let her know if something is missing at keysa@wcde.org. She needs a picture or link when information is sent. Don't hesitate to send her information.

We do not want to miss anything.
