eDCSD Online Middle School Update
February 12, 2025
Quarter 3 Week 6
DCSD Homebound Care Package Service Project
Our Yeti Council has decided this year to take on a service project and they all felt passionate about helping people with cancer or who are really sick. When discussing all of the options, they decided they would like their gifts to go to people within DCSD. They have decided to make hats and scarves during blended learning with all of the 7th and 8th graders who attend. They would also like to add to this by collecting gifts they could put together in baskets for kids in our district facing these unthinkable circumstances. All donations, hats and scarves will be given to our district's homebound coordinator to then distribute to families!
A big thank you to our Middle School Yeti Council and their thoughtfulness this year!
