DMS Principal Notes

The week of October 19-23 is Red Ribbon Week.  Our students are encouraged to stay drug free by participating in fun activities each day.  Monday's theme is "Be smart, don't start".  Tuesday's theme is "Give drugs the boot (and dress like a cowboy).  Wednesday is "We can both be drug free (dress as twins).  Thursday is "Drugs are no thriller" (dress as Michael Jackson in any decade! ) And Friday's theme is "Stay in the game, be drug free" and wear your favorite sports team shirt (including Dahlstrom shirts).  These theme days were created by the students in our student council.  While it is fun for them to participate in these dress up days, the underlying message is more important and that is keeping our students drug free.  We will also be making announcements each day about staying drug free. 

If you get a chance, come by the school and see the colorful "chain" we have started in the cafeteria that details acts of kindness our students have performed or witnessed.  Our goal is to increase the size of the chain all year long as our students continue to do and receive acts of kindness!!
