DSS and the Holidays
During the Holidays, or in the time leading up to the Holidays, there is inevitably an increase in charitable donations. At DSS, we have a wonderful tradition of giving, not just during the Holidays, but all year long. Whether it is Famine Relief, Heart and Stroke, Aid Awareness, or numerous other causes, our students step up and exhibit a generous spirit of giving. This Holiday Season, DSS students have collected toys, clothing, and food for the Salvation Army’s Christmas campaign. I am amazed at the generosity of our students and their families. DSS collected over 4500 items to donate to the Salvation Army! Congratulations to all our students on this achievement.
We have had many other activities going on during our Twelve Days of Christmas. Student Council has organized daily activities leading up to the Holidays for our students. Last week was highlighted by the Semi-Formal and pictures with Santa, as well as Ginger Bread House Contest. This week we have had a Basketball Buyout during which our teachers narrowly defeated the Senior Girls Basketball Team. If it is any consolation girls, most of the teachers who played don’t seem to be moving too quickly this morning. Yet to come this week are the Christmas Assembly and the Christmas Movie. Student Council has worked hard to help our students enjoy the Holiday Season.
Everyone have a restful, fun and safe Holiday and Happy New Year!
