Thank you Mrs. Rowe!
We Will Miss You!!
A special thank you to one of the best teachers we have worked with! The amazing Mrs. Rowe stepped into action to cover Mrs. Fair while she was out with her newborn. Mrs. Rowe, who is a former student of Mrs. Wolfe, has been very helpful in keeping the Health Science learning fun! We hope she will return to visit up frequently and will miss her smiling face in January.
Thank you for your dedication to the DCHS Health Science Department!
