Students and staff will be having lots of fun the next couple weeks -- learning, but still enjoying themselves! The week of December 15, there will be dress up days for students:

Encourage your student to get involved!

Our Student Council and 7th grade Science classes are sponsoring a food drive to support the DMS Food Pantry. This has been extended to December 16 due to school closures.

Grade levels are competing to see who brings in the most! See the image below for more information!

Recently, all students were given the opportunity to submit an application for the Principal's Cabinet. This application required two teacher references.

This cabinet will meet monthly to discuss school community and culture, as well as student needs. The DMS Student Council President is also on the cabinet to provide communication between both entities.

This is a great opportunity for students to show leadership and encourage them to talk with their peers about the great things we are doing at DMS, and how to make it better!

In the future, there is a plan to have some opportunities for parents to be involved in some of our community conversations. If you are interested in this, please email Mrs. Wisehart at cwisehart@dekalbcentral.net.

Thank you so much for filling out the Thankful for You certificates in the month of November. We posted them on teacher and staff doors/offices and they felt appreciated.

If you would like to appreciate our staff this month and aren't quite sure how, use this Amazon Wish List to purchase gift cards or teacher request items.

In the next week, the list will be updated with items teachers would like for their classrooms - a great opportunity to buy them a holiday gift!

All food items on this list are for the Food Pantry.
