From The Principal's Desk

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Our band and cheer squad marched in the Fountain Hills Thanksgiving Day parade. It was a lot of fun. Thank you to our parents who kept us hydrated and fed. A big shout out to Ms. May for organizing this fun event.

We have an exciting week of sporting games this week. Tuesday, Basketball, cheer, and Boys’ soccer will play at home. I want to remind you of our Clear Bag requirements to enter the gym. On Thursday, Softball and Girls’ Soccer will be played.

 

Have a great week,
Mr. Akhbari

Chipotle Fundraiser Was a HIT!

On Wednesday, November 8, DCMS families dined at Chipotle and supported our PTO. We pulled in a whopping $300 to sprinkle some magic on our school, cool teachers, amazing staff, and the most fabulous students around!

Big high-fives to all the rad folks who rolled in for the dine-in fiesta or snagged some tasty goodness to-go. You made it a night to remember!

Pies for Daaazzze

A HUGE thank you to everyone who signed up and donated a pie, or 2, or 3 for our annual Season of Giving Pie Donation OR donated to our teacher appreciation fund. A total of 60 pies were donated! Every teacher and staff member left school last Wednesday with a delicious apple, pumpkin, pecan, or cherry pie. 🥧
