Hello DCS families, the Thanksgiving Break allowed staff to take some time to enjoy family and friends and I hope you were able to do the same. The return to school was spirited due to the snow and anticipation of the upcoming holidays. The Friday before the break, the whole school participated in the annual Turkey Trot! Thanks to Kelly Parker for coordinating! We had students win cranberry sauce, stuffing, and a frozen turkey! Students set goals for themselves and were so excited to reach or surpass their goals.
Mother Nature's delivery of snow has added many things to our recess time; sledding, snow fort building and even cross country skiing. We are so fortunate to have different seasons with new activities to engage in outside.
Today's visit to the Mariposa Museum provided an opportunity for students to learn about different holiday celebrations around the world and how light is a part of each.
I hope to see you at the lantern parade Saturday at 6-7pm. Have your child bring their lantern, which they made in art, to the M+T Bank between 5:15 and 6pm to get a pole and a light to be ready to march in the parade. Kristen Garland and I will be there with lanterns with "DCS" on them.
Have a lovely weekend, Nicole
